WHAT IT DOES

What ti_copy_grades does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use ti_copy_grades 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_copy_grades is rated Medium

The tool performs a reversible modification operation (copying grades between clips), which falls under Write rather than Read. While it could potentially affect multiple clips, the operation is not destructive (grades can be re-applied or removed), not financial, and not code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ti_copy_grades' indicates copying/duplicating color grading data from one clip to another. This is a write operation that modifies clip metadata/properties in DaVinci Resolve. The description is empty, limiting confidence.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ti_copy_grades Rate-limited

ti_copy_grades 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.
