WHAT IT DOES

What create_project_from_starter does on Cutpilot

AI agents use create_project_from_starter to create or update resources in Cutpilot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Cutpilot environment.

RISK

Why create_project_from_starter is rated Medium

The tool creates a new project artifact that can be used as a starting point for video editing workflows. This is a reversible write operation—the created project can be modified or deleted. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete existing data, or move resources, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a ready-to-edit local CutPilot project', indicating it creates new project data structures.
