How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| inspect Read a timeline or project without changing it. Use this first to understand what you are working with. Actions: list_projects, analyze_timeline, analyze_pacing, list_clips, list_markers, list_roles, list_keywords, list_effects, list_templates, list_library_clips, list_compound_clips, list_connected_clips, filter_by_role. | read | false | unknown |
| generate Build new timeline structure from source clips: rough cuts, montages, A/B roll, templates and compound clips. Actions: auto_rough_cut, generate_ab_roll, generate_montage, apply_template, create_compound_clip, flatten_compound_clip. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| diagnose Find problems in a timeline: gaps, flash frames, duplicates, dead air, and beat structure. Read-only. Run before editing. Actions: validate_timeline, detect_gaps, detect_duplicates, detect_flash_frames, detect_silence_candidates, detect_media_silence, detect_beats, find_short_cuts, find_long_clips, diff_timelines. | read | false | unknown |
| edit Change clips on the timeline: insert, delete, trim, split, reorder, retime, remove silence, and attach audio, B-roll or transitions. Writes a new file. Actions: insert_clip, delete_clips, trim_clip, split_clip, reorder_clips, change_speed, rapid_trim, add_transition, add_audio, add_connected_clip, assign_role, fill_gaps, fix_flash_frames, remove_silence_candidates, remove_media_silence. | write | true | unknown |
| mark Add or import markers and chapters, including from SRT/VTT subtitles, transcripts, and beat analysis. Actions: add_marker, batch_add_markers, import_srt_markers, import_transcript_markers, import_beat_markers, snap_to_beats. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| transcript Transcribe source media locally and edit the timeline by what was SAID rather than by timecode. Also removes filler words. Actions: transcribe_media, edit_by_transcript, remove_filler_words. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| deliver Get the edit out: export to other NLEs, CSV, EDL and stems, reformat, relink media, or push straight into a running Final Cut Pro. Actions: export_csv, export_edl, export_fcp7_xml, export_resolve_xml, export_role_stems, reformat_timeline, relink_media, push_to_fcp, list_fcp_libraries. | read | false | unknown |
