What ti_finalize_take does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents use ti_finalize_take 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 ti_finalize_take is rated Medium
Finalizing a take in DaVinci Resolve commits the selected take as the active version for that clip. This is a write/modification operation that changes the state of a timeline element. While it may be reversible by re-selecting a different take, it does modify project data. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition 'Finalize the selected take' — finalizing a take commits/locks a selection in the timeline
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ti_finalize_take 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_finalize_take, this is the rule to start with:
ti_finalize_take 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 ti_finalize_take call is checked against it from then on.
