WHAT IT DOES

What ti_add_marker does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use ti_add_marker 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_marker is rated Medium

Adding markers to a video timeline is a Write operation: it creates editable metadata without irreversibly destroying data. The 'add_' prefix and sibling tools on a video editing server confirm this classification. Severity is medium because malicious marker addition could corrupt project organization or workflow, but changes are reversible. Confidence is reduced from higher due to the empty tool description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ti_add_marker' indicates marker creation (add_*), and sibling tools like 'add_clip_marker' and 'add_keyframe' confirm this server performs content modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ti_add_marker Rate-limited

ti_add_marker 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.
