What set_still_label does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents use set_still_label 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 set_still_label is rated Medium
This tool modifies metadata (a label) on an existing still image in a gallery, which is a reversible change. It does not execute code, delete data, or cause financial transactions. The change is limited to labeling/tagging and can be easily undone by setting a different label. This is a classic Write operation with low blast radius—mislabeling gallery items causes minimal harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_still_label' and description 'Set the label of a still in a gallery album' indicate modification of metadata associated with media assets.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_still_label 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 set_still_label, this is the rule to start with:
set_still_label 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 set_still_label call is checked against it from then on.
