## Why move_media_pool_folders is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by reorganizing folder hierarchies within DaVinci Resolve's media pool. The action is reversible (folders can be moved back to their original locations), which places it in the Write category rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'move_media_pool_folders' and description states it 'Move folders to a different Media Pool location.' This operation modifies the organizational structure of media assets by changing folder locations within the Media Pool."

## Use case

AI agents use move_media_pool_folders 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.
