What is davinci-resolve-mcp AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for a Python server that connects AI agents to DaVinci Resolve and Fusion, tools for video editing and visual effects. They describe the code structure, tests, release process, and Resolve API bridge.

Use them to add or modify connected tools, work with Resolve or Fusion operations, run tests, and maintain packaging or automated releases.

They help an agent find the right files and follow the project’s conventions when changing or troubleshooting the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00823	$0.00823
Opus 5.5	$0.00329	$0.00329
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00165	$0.00165
Haiku 4.5	$0.00082	$0.00082

Security

Grade A, and why

davinci-resolve-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CODE MAP

LSP unavailable in this environment (basedpyright-langserver missing), so map is AST/grep-derived.

Symbol	Type	Location	Refs	Role
`ResolveAPI`	class	`src/davinci_resolve_mcp/resolve_api.py`	n/a	Resolve/Fusion connection and wrapper methods

CONVENTIONS

uv is the default package/env/task runner; commands in docs and workflows assume uv.
Lint/format standardized on Ruff; lint ignores E501 and line length is 100.
MCP endpoints return user-facing strings rather than structured JSON payloads.
server.py is intentionally monolithic: resources/tools colocated in a single file.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
