Remove clips by index from a video track. ripple=true closes the gaps.
AI agents call remove_clips to permanently remove resources in Media-Editor-MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing clips from a video track deletes media elements from the project timeline. This is irreversible without an undo operation, and the ripple mode additionally restructures the entire timeline. Misuse by an AI agent could result in permanent loss of edited content across a video project.
From the tool's definition 'Remove clips by index from a video track' — removing clips is an irreversible deletion of timeline content; 'ripple=true closes the gaps' further alters the timeline structure permanently
