This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve available encoding options. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not involve financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate available encodings, which is informational metadata about the ProPresenter system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'capture_get_encodings' and description 'Get available capture encodings for a specific type' indicate a query operation that retrieves configuration or capability information without modifying state.
