# set_current_render_mode Set the render mode. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `set_current_render_mode`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/set-current-render-mode ## Facts - Tool: `set_current_render_mode` - Server: DaVinci Resolve MCP (`samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "set_current_render_mode", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why set_current_render_mode is rated Medium The tool modifies application state (render mode settings) reversibly. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, move money, or trigger external operations with unpredictable side effects. While it affects rendering behavior, the change is not destructive (can be undone by setting a different render mode). From the tool's own definition: "set_current_render_mode: 'Set the render mode.' This tool modifies render settings within DaVinci Resolve, which is a configuration change that affects how video will be processed and output." ## Use case AI agents use set_current_render_mode 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
