Full changelog

v2.22.0

v2.22.0 adds configurable MCP update prompting, conversation-level setup
defaults, optional timed media-analysis marker writeback, and a read-only
metadata field inventory for mapping Resolve metadata writeback safely.

Added

  • Added persisted MCP update policies: prompt, auto, notify, and never.
  • Added installer update prompts with update now, continue, snooze, ignore,
    safe auto-update, and disable-check choices.
  • Added Resolve-side update controls:
    resolve_control.mcp_update_status, set_mcp_update_policy,
    ignore_mcp_update, snooze_mcp_update, and
    clear_mcp_update_preferences.
  • Added the setup compound tool for media-analysis defaults and update
    preferences.
  • Added media_pool.metadata_field_inventory for read-only metadata,
    clip-property, inferred Metadata-panel group, and analysis writeback field
    mapping.
  • Added optional media_analysis.publish_clip_metadata timed marker writeback
    for slate claps, best moments, and QC warnings.
  • Added tests/live_metadata_field_inventory_validation.py for disposable
    Resolve validation of metadata inventory behavior.

Changed

  • Bumped version surfaces to 2.22.0.
  • Updated compound tool count to 32 and kernel action count to 136.
  • Documented update policy controls, setup defaults, timed marker choices,
    metadata field inventory, and live metadata inventory validation.
  • Timed marker writeback now prompts with yes, no, default_yes, and
    default_no when no explicit choice or saved default exists.

Validation

  • venv/bin/python tests/test_import.py
  • venv/bin/python scripts/audit_api_parity.py
  • git diff --check
  • venv/bin/python -m unittest tests.test_media_analysis tests.test_update_check tests.test_media_pool_ingest_probe
  • Live validation via connected MCP server on DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.3.2.9
    with a disposable project and synthetic media only. Verified
    metadata_field_inventory, MediaPool.ExportMetadata() header comparison,
    default analysis writeback field mapping, and SetMetadata() readback for
    analysis and slate fields.

Notes

  • The standalone live metadata inventory harness could not attach to Resolve
    from this shell, so equivalent validation was run through the already
    connected MCP process.
