WHAT IT DOES

What reset_current_photo does on Lightroom Classic MCP

AI agents call reset_current_photo to permanently remove resources in Lightroom Classic MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why reset_current_photo is rated Critical

Resetting all develop adjustments irreversibly removes all editing work done on a photo. While Lightroom Classic does maintain a history, the tool as described performs a bulk reset of all adjustments which is a destructive, hard-to-recover action for professional photo editing workflows. The word 'reset' combined with 'all develop adjustments' indicates complete overwrite of prior editing state.

From the tool's definition Reset all develop adjustments on the currently active photo

reset_current_photo Hidden

reset_current_photo is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
