WHAT IT DOES

What refresh_media_pool_folders does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use refresh_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.

RISK

Why refresh_media_pool_folders is rated Medium

Refreshing media pool folders updates the internal state of the application by reloading folder contents and metadata. While non-destructive and reversible, this is a write-class operation that modifies application state rather than merely retrieving data. The blast radius is minimal—worst case the user sees outdated or stale folder views that can be refreshed again.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'refresh_media_pool_folders' indicates modification of folder state/cache in the Media Pool. The verb 'refresh' implies updating or resyncing folder metadata or display state.
