Yes this is only a temporary repair make sure you have the roofers pressure wash the roof before applying the waterproof paint and mesh. If they don’t not wash off the dirt it will blister off and start to peel after there 1 year warranty is up that they usually offer. So yeah make them wash it off, also they can burn off the dirt with a roofing torch and scrap it till it becomes a black smooth surface to apply paint.
SCRS is intended to be a long lasting renewable system, which does require cleaning prior to the waterproof coating & mesh being applied. Full Roof restorations are eligible for 10 year renewable warranties when applied by approved contractor.

What is the purpose of a gravel roof
In the old days the gravel was put down to keep the direct sun from baking the the roof. That's all the gravel is there for. Before gravel was metal slag from the walls of the foundry furnaces.
To protect the roof from the elements.
Specifically to protect the tar from the UV degradation of the sun. The UV rays break down the tar and the roof would fail quickly. The gravel blocks the light from hitting any of the actual tar roof.

what kind of tool was that at the beginning?
A power broom was used in the beginning of the video to assist in removing any loose & partially embedded gravel
installer could have done a better job putting down the mesh
When can you buy the gas tool that grinds off the gravel in the video?

Pressure washing a GBUR that has leaks is a good way to inject water into the underlying insulation.
