Get items linked to a timeline item. Args: item_index: 0-based item index. Default: 0.
AI agents call ti_get_linked_items to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries information about linked timeline items without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It is a non-destructive read operation that inspects the state of a DaVinci Resolve project. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only access metadata about project structure, not alter it.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ti_get_linked_items' and description 'Get items linked to a timeline item' indicate a retrieval operation. The function takes only an item_index parameter and returns data about linked items with no side effects mentioned.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ti_get_linked_items 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 ti_get_linked_items:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ti_get_linked_items": {}
}
}ti_get_linked_items is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get items linked to a timeline item. Args: item_index: 0-based item index. Default: 0. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ti_get_linked_items: 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.
ti_get_linked_items is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ti_get_linked_items 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 ti_get_linked_items. 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.
ti_get_linked_items 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.
