AI agents use set_timeline_item_stabilization 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 data within a DaVinci Resolve project in a reversible manner. Stabilization settings can be disabled or reverted, making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt video effects or project workflows, but changes are reversible and don't result in data loss or external system impacts.
From the tool's definition Tool modifies timeline item stabilization properties (enabled, method, strength) which changes the video editing project state reversibly.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_timeline_item_stabilization 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_timeline_item_stabilization:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_timeline_item_stabilization": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_timeline_item_stabilization_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_timeline_item_stabilization 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 stabilization properties for a timeline item. Args: timeline_item_id: The ID of the timeline item to modify enabled: Optional boolean to enable/disable stabilization method: Optional stabilization method. Options: 'Perspective', 'Similarity', 'Translation' strength: Optional strength value (0.0 to 1.0). 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_timeline_item_stabilization: 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_timeline_item_stabilization 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_timeline_item_stabilization 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_timeline_item_stabilization. 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_timeline_item_stabilization 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.
