WHAT IT DOES

What ti_add_version does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use ti_add_version 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 ti_add_version is rated Medium

This tool creates a new color version for a timeline item, which is a reversible modification of project data. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move financial resources. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could create unwanted versions cluttering a project, but the effect is fully reversible through deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_version' and description 'Add a new color version to a timeline item' indicate creation of new data within the video editing project.
