AI agents call resolve_get_playhead to retrieve information from Resolve without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves the current playhead position, a read-only query with no side effects or modifications to any data.
