Gets the default settings for a filter kind. Args: filter_kind: Filter type to get the default settings for Returns: Dict with default filter settings
AI agents call get_source_filter_default_settings to retrieve information from OBS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves default filter settings for informational purposes only. It performs no writes, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The read is non-destructive and returns static configuration data. Severity is low because misuse would only result in receiving incorrect filter configuration information, with no blast radius to the OBS setup or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_source_filter_default_settings' and description 'Gets the default settings for a filter kind' indicate a pure read operation that retrieves configuration data without modifying state or triggering side effects.
