Here's a quote from the rulebook Rule 2-13-2. They may not use the monitor to determine whether a foul was intentional or not.

Art 2. Officials may use such available equipment only in the following
situations:
a. Free Throws.
1. Determine who shall attempt a free throw(s) when there is uncertainty.
2. Determine whether a player who was fouled on his or her unsuccessful field goal try, at or near the three-point line, shall attempt either two or three free throws.
3. Determine whether the wrong player was permitted to attempt a free throw as per 2-12.1.c.
4. Determine whether a player was permitted to attempt a free throw at the wrong basket as per 2-12.1.d.
b. Scoring.

d. (Men) A determination if a flagrant foul occurred. When it is determined that a flagrant foul was not committed, no other penalty may be assessed.
