WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_create_subtitles does on Resolve

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_create_subtitles needs a policy

This tool creates new subtitle data on a timeline, which is a reversible modification operation. It doesn't execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The severity is medium because an AI agent could misuse it to add unwanted subtitles to projects, but the damage is reversible and the blast radius is limited to a single timeline's subtitle layer.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_create_subtitles' and description 'Create auto-generated subtitles on the current timeline' explicitly states it creates/modifies timeline content by adding subtitle elements.
