WHAT IT DOES

What export_media_pool_metadata does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

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

RISK

Why export_media_pool_metadata is rated Medium

This tool generates and writes a CSV file containing metadata about clips. While it modifies the file system by creating a new file, it is reversible (the file can be deleted) and has no destructive impact on the original media or project data. It does not delete, execute commands, or move money, making Write the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool creates/exports metadata to a CSV file ('Export metadata of clips in the current Media Pool folder to a CSV file'), which involves writing data to disk.
