Get subfolders in a given absolute folder path from Media Storage. Args: folder_path: Absolute path to the folder to list subfolders for.
AI agents call get_media_storage_subfolders to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs directory enumeration without side effects. It queries the file system to return folder structure information. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about the local file system structure, which is generally low-risk in isolation.
