davinci-resolve-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

davinci-resolve-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from mrsuber/davinci-resolve-mcp. It costs 1,985 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of davinci-resolve-mcp AGENTS.md, MIT.

The main operating brief for AI coding agents working on the DaVinci Resolve MCP server. It defines how to protect original media and how analysis, color work, and project writebacks should be handled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding repository changes and Resolve workflows involving source-media analysis, metadata, transcriptions, markers, color decisions, and project databases.
Why use it?
It prevents destructive changes to camera originals and keeps analysis results in safe locations. It also establishes required defaults so an agent does not silently skip important analysis or verification steps.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is mrsuber/davinci-resolve-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on davinci-resolve-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything davinci-resolve-mcp configures →

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.

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 1mo 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.

DaVinci Resolve MCP Server — Agent Instructions

This is the canonical short operating brief for AI coding agents working in this repository. Keep it durable: do not duplicate version numbers, tool counts, kernel-action counts, release notes, or long reference tables here.

Non-Negotiable Source Media Safety

Never modify, transcode, convert, proxy, relink, replace, or create derivatives of source media unless the user explicitly asks for that exact operation.

Analysis workflows may read source media, but file outputs must go to sidecar files, session scratch space, or the configured davinci-resolve-mcp-analysis project root. Resolve-target analysis should run visual analysis, transcription, metadata writeback, and Media Pool marker writeback by default unless the user opts out; those writes are Resolve project database changes, not source-media changes. Preserve the chain from camera original to final delivery.

See docs/guides/media-analysis-guide.md for the full source-safe workflow.

Media Analysis Defaults Are Mandatory

Do not translate source-safe into underpowered, read-only, no-writeback analysis. When the user asks to analyze Resolve media, run the requested analysis directly with visual analysis, transcription, persisted artifacts, metadata writeback, and Media Pool marker writeback enabled by default. Do not add include_visuals=false, include_transcription=false, publish_metadata=false, timed_markers=no, session_only=true, or dry_run=true unless the user explicitly asks for that opt-out, the target is a raw file path that cannot receive Resolve project writeback. Vision uses host_chat_paths by default — analyze actions return a deferred payload with absolute frame_paths and a JSON schema; the host chat must read those frames as local images, produce JSON per the schema, and call media_analysis(action="commit_vision", params={clip_id, visual, vision_token}) to merge the result and trigger metadata + Media Pool clip-marker writeback. Not completing commit_vision leaves the analysis in pending_host_vision_analysis — that is a failure mode, not a success. Users must explicitly opt out with include_visuals=false for a technical-only run.

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.
