Set the audio volume of a timeline clip by name.
AI agents use set_audio_volume to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies audio volume settings for timeline clips, which is a reversible Write operation. While audio changes affect the final output, they do not delete data or execute arbitrary code. The severity is medium because incorrect volume settings could degrade audio quality in a project, but the change is easily undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_audio_volume' and description 'Set the audio volume of a timeline clip by name' indicate modification of audio properties on an existing clip. This is a reversible change to media metadata/properties.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_audio_volume gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for set_audio_volume:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_audio_volume": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_audio_volume_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_audio_volume 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.

Set the audio volume of a timeline clip by name. It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_audio_volume: 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 Server. Nothing to install.
set_audio_volume is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_audio_volume 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 set_audio_volume. 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.
set_audio_volume is provided by the DaVinci Resolve MCP Server MCP server (tooflex/davinci-resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from DaVinci Resolve MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
