Use this when the user wants to rename a BitterClip recording or set/replace its description or chapters. Video visual analysis is automatic; audio-only recordings skip it. This does not re-transcribe, edit media, create clips, render, or publish.

The JSON blocks below are the exact MCP descriptor projections served by Rails for the named profiles at capture time. Security schemes and resource URIs may vary by connected host.
