WHAT IT DOES

What ti_add_flag does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use ti_add_flag 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.

RISK

Why ti_add_flag is rated Medium

Adding flags is a non-destructive write operation that modifies timeline item metadata. It creates or updates organizational markers without affecting media or irreversibly deleting content. The action is easily reversible (flags can be removed), keeping severity low despite the Write category. Confidence is high because the function's purpose is clearly stated.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_flag' and description 'Add a flag to a timeline item' indicate creation/modification of metadata. Flags are reversible annotations in video editing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ti_add_flag 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 ti_add_flag, this is the rule to start with:

ti_add_flag Rate-limited

ti_add_flag 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.
