What ti_delete_version does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents call ti_delete_version 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.
Why ti_delete_version is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes a color version from the editing project. While the scope is limited to a single version artifact (not the entire project or media), deletion operations are inherently destructive and cannot be undone through normal API calls. The 'Delete' verb and lack of any reversibility mechanism justify Destructive classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ti_delete_version' combined with description 'Delete a color version' indicates irreversible deletion of data within the DaVinci Resolve project.

ti_delete_version is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
