Strong foundation with 15 well-named tools using clear verb_noun patterns (get_, add_, remove_, ripple_, trim_, move_, split_, set_). All tools have descriptions (avg 156 chars, within 10-1024 baseline). Input schemas are comprehensive with Zod validation, frame bounds checking, and enum constraints. However, output schemas are not documented in the source, LLMs cannot see what these tools return. Error handling and recovery guidance are absent. Tool descriptions lack dependency hints and prerequisites. Some parameter descriptions could be more explicit about constraints and formats.

• Document output schemas for all tools. For get_timeline, specify: {tracks: [{id, name, type, clips: [...]}], playhead: number, fps: number, resolution: {width, height}, ...}. For add_clip, return {clipId, startFrame, duration, trackId, ...}. This enables LLMs to chain tools and extract the right fields.
• Add error handling descriptions to destructive tools. E.g., remove_clip: 'If clip not found, returns error 'Clip {clipId} not found. Call get_clips() to list available clips.' Retryable: no.'
• Implement dry-run or confirmation for ripple_delete_* and remove_clip. Add optional 'dryRun: boolean' parameter. When true, return what would be deleted without executing. When false, require explicit confirmation via a separate confirm_deletion tool.
• Enhance parameter descriptions with explicit constraints. E.g., 'startFrame: Frame position (0 to 2147483647, must be integer). Clips cannot start before frame 0 or after the project end.' Make constraints machine-readable in descriptions since LLMs cannot parse Zod.
• Add tool annotations to the MCP server registration. Mark get_* tools with readOnlyHint=true, remove_* and ripple_delete_* with destructiveHint=true, and idempotent operations with idempotentHint=true. This enables MCP clients to warn users before executing destructive calls.
