It is the review of JSA, and monitoring of well control readiness.
In. monitoring, following comes to be taken care of:
Pump pressure
Tubing weight & forces
Depth & speed
Wellhead pressure

Got the reference of API RP 5C7 — Recommended Practice for Coiled Tubing Operations.
Good one.

What exactly this RP covers?
Does that talk about the responsibilities as well?

Not directly.
API RP 5C7 does not formally define job roles like:
Operations Engineer
Field Engineer
Supervisor
It is equipment and operation focused, not organizational.
However, it implicitly assigns responsibilities through recommended practices such as:
Monitoring tubing forces
Maintaining fatigue records
Ensuring safe operating limits
Verifying equipment suitability
These responsibilities are normally carried out by:
Operations Engineers
Coiled Tubing Supervisors
Well Intervention Engineers
But the standard itself does not describe job descriptions.
