## Why ti_delete_markers_by_color is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes markers from timeline items. While the scope is limited to metadata (markers) rather than media assets, deletion of timeline annotations could disrupt an editing project's organization and workflow, and the action cannot be reversed through the tool interface.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name explicitly includes 'delete' and the description states it will 'Delete markers by color on a timeline item.' Deletion is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone programmatically."

## Use case

AI agents call ti_delete_markers_by_color to permanently remove resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
