Set timeline color space and gamma. Args: color_space: Timeline color space (e.g., 'Rec.709', 'DCI-P3 D65', 'Rec.2020') gamma: Timeline gamma (e.g., 'Rec.709 Gamma', 'Gamma 2.4')
AI agents use set_color_space_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.
This tool creates or modifies timeline metadata (color space and gamma settings) reversibly. These settings can be changed back to previous values, making it a Write operation rather than destructive. The severity is medium because incorrect color space/gamma settings could affect video output quality or require re-rendering, but the changes are not irreversible and do not execute arbitrary code or delete data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Set[s] timeline color space and gamma' with parameters for color_space and gamma values. This modifies timeline properties.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_color_space_tool gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for set_color_space_tool:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_color_space_tool": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_color_space_tool_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_color_space_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.

Set timeline color space and gamma. Args: color_space: Timeline color space (e.g., 'Rec.709', 'DCI-P3 D65', 'Rec.2020') gamma: Timeline gamma (e.g., 'Rec.709 Gamma', 'Gamma 2.4'). It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_color_space_tool: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP. Nothing to install.
set_color_space_tool is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_color_space_tool rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_color_space_tool. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
set_color_space_tool is provided by the DaVinci Resolve MCP server (samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
