What unlink_clip_proxy_media does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents use unlink_clip_proxy_media 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 unlink_clip_proxy_media is rated Medium
Unlinking proxy media modifies the clip's association with its proxy file, but it does not delete the proxy media itself. The proxy file remains on disk and the original media is unaffected. This is a reversible modification (the proxy can be re-linked), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disrupt proxy workflows but has limited blast radius.

The rule that runs unlink_clip_proxy_media 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 unlink_clip_proxy_media, this is the rule to start with:
unlink_clip_proxy_media 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 unlink_clip_proxy_media call is checked against it from then on.
