WHAT IT DOES

What snap_timeline_time does on Cutpilot

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

RISK

Why snap_timeline_time is rated Low

The tool performs a read-only resolution/lookup operation, snapping a proposed time value against existing timeline reference points (clip edges, markers, In/Out, playhead, start). It explicitly states it does this 'without editing', meaning no state is changed.

From the tool's definition 'without editing' — the tool resolves/queries a timeline time against reference points but makes no modifications

snap_timeline_time Allowed

snap_timeline_time is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
