Set the interpolation type for a keyframe. Args: timeline_item_id: The ID of the timeline item property_name: The name of the property with keyframe frame: Frame position of the keyframe interpolation_type: Type of interpolation. Options: 'Linear', 'Bezier', 'Ease-In', 'Ease-Out'
AI agents use set_keyframe_interpolation 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 modifies project data (keyframe interpolation) reversibly. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or cause financial transactions. While it affects video output, the changes are reversible through undo or resetting keyframes.
From the tool's definition Tool modifies keyframe interpolation settings on a timeline item, which changes the animation properties of video effects or motion parameters.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_keyframe_interpolation 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_keyframe_interpolation:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_keyframe_interpolation": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_keyframe_interpolation_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_keyframe_interpolation 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 the interpolation type for a keyframe. Args: timeline_item_id: The ID of the timeline item property_name: The name of the property with keyframe frame: Frame position of the keyframe interpolation_type: Type of interpolation. Options: 'Linear', 'Bezier', 'Ease-In', 'Ease-Out'. 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_keyframe_interpolation: 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_keyframe_interpolation 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_keyframe_interpolation 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_keyframe_interpolation. 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_keyframe_interpolation 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.
