WHAT IT DOES

What monitor_clip_growing_file does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents call monitor_clip_growing_file to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why monitor_clip_growing_file is rated Low

Monitoring a file involves observing its properties (file size, growth status) without creating, modifying, or deleting content. This is a passive observation capability with no side effects or risk of data loss. It aligns with the Read category as a retrieval/query operation. Severity is low because the worst outcome of misuse is gathering information about media file status.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'monitor_clip_growing_file' and description 'Monitor a growing media file for the given Media Pool clip' indicate read-only observation of file state without modification, creation, or deletion of data.
