What restore_cloud_project_tool does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents use restore_cloud_project_tool to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP environment.
Why restore_cloud_project_tool is rated Medium
The tool restores cloud projects, which is a reversible modification operation—the original state before restoration still exists in the cloud. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly) rather than Destructive, since restoration typically preserves history. Severity is high because incorrect restoration could overwrite significant work.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'restore_cloud_project_tool' indicates restoration of a cloud-based project state. Within a video editing context, restoration implies reverting project data to a previous state, which modifies the current project (Write operation).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs restore_cloud_project_tool safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For restore_cloud_project_tool, this is the rule to start with:
restore_cloud_project_tool stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every restore_cloud_project_tool call is checked against it from then on.
