      Enables agents to create, inspect and edit Kdenlive project files, import and relink media, query installed MLT effects/transitions, author subtitles, and run asynchronous MLT renders, plus drive the live Kdenlive editor UI. Edits always write new files, and rendering is job-based with verification of the output.
