Delete a take from a timeline item's take selector.
AI agents call resolve_item_delete_take to permanently remove resources in Resolve — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently deletes a take from a timeline item, which is an irreversible removal of media/edit data. This falls squarely in the Destructive category. Severity is medium as it affects a single take within a project rather than entire projects or timelines.
