# get_segments

List the storyboard's segments (narration span, type, duration, creative direction). The 1-based segment_number is the handle every segment tool takes (update/split/combine/continuation/regenerate) — you never need a UUID. Each segment also reports continues_from_segment. When set, this shot is a CONTINUATION of that earlier segment: its rendered frame carries over (same composition, characters, and setting) and only the delta changes — an added overlay, a shifted expression, a closer angle, a slow reframe. Null means a fresh, independent shot. The storyboard plans these chains automatically; adjust them with set_segment_continuation.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

    "name": "get_segments",
    "arguments": {
      "project_id": "<project_id>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why get_segments is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves and lists existing storyboard segment data without any side effects, modifications, or triggering external processes. It is a straightforward data retrieval function used to inspect the current state of a video project's storyboard.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_segments' and description explicitly states 'List the storyboard's segments', with no mention of modifications, deletions, or execution of operations."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call get_segments to retrieve information from Framesail without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Framesail:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_segments": {}
  }
}
```
