mux

Read-only

Mux Video, read-only: the videos (assets) of the token's environment, and the direct uploads that make them.

op:

  • list_assets — newest first: id, status, duration (seconds), resolution, playback ids, passthrough, title. limit 1-100 (default 25), next_cursor in the answer goes into cursor. With upload_id: the asset that upload made. Tightened by default (tracks, rendition and master-file settings, input diagnostics), the answer's projection naming what was removed: full=true returns the raw records.

  • get_asset — one asset (asset_id). status is preparing until Mux has processed the file (about the film's length), then ready or errored (with errors).

  • get_ingest — one direct upload made by mux_act op='create_upload' (upload_id): status is waiting until the file is PUT, then asset_created with its asset_id (or errored, cancelled, timed_out).

Every PUBLIC playback id carries its stream_url (https://stream.mux.com/<id>.m3u8, HLS), the address a player takes.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
opYesWhat to read (see above).
_orgNoOrg (id) de CET APPEL. `oto_list_orgs()`.
fullNo`list_assets`: the raw records instead of the tightened view.
limitNoAssets per page, 1 to 100 (`list_assets`).
_groupNoÉquipe (id) de CET APPEL, sous son org parente.
cursorNo`next_cursor` of the previous page (`list_assets`).
_run_idNoOBLIGATOIRE à chaque appel dès `run_start` ou `data_claim_next` : sans lui, l'écriture sur une ligne réservée est refusée. Hérité seulement si le serveur tient un run actif — n'y compte pas.
_projectNoProjet (id) de CET APPEL — jeton PRIMAIRE. `oto_project(op='list')`.
asset_idNoThe asset, for `get_asset`.
_instanceNoInstance de connecteur PRÉCISE (un credential exact). `oto_instance(op='list')`.
upload_idNoThe direct upload, for `get_ingest`; or, with `list_assets`, the upload whose asset to find.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description stays consistent with that. It adds real behavioral context beyond annotations: results are tightened by default with a named list of removed fields, `projection` records what was stripped, and `full=true` is the escape hatch; it also documents the status lifecycles (`preparing`/`ready`/`errored`, `waiting`/`asset_created`/`timed_out`) and the latency expectation. It says nothing about auth/instance requirements or rate limits, so it is good rather than complete.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the read-only scope, then a bullet per op, which is the right shape for a three-mode tool. Every line carries information, though a few phrases are compressed to the point of being cryptic ("Tightened by default ... the answer's `projection` naming what was removed") and demand a re-read.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description correctly carries the return-value burden, enumerating the fields each op yields and the HLS `stream_url` format for public playback ids. What is missing is modest: error shapes for `list_assets` and any note on environment/instance resolution for an 11-parameter tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% so the baseline is 3, but the description earns more: it fixes `limit` to 1-100 with default 25, explains that the response's `next_cursor` feeds `cursor`, and calls out the dual role of `upload_id` (the lookup key for `get_ingest`, a filter for `list_assets`). It leaves the context parameters (`_org`, `_run_id`, `_project`, `_instance`) entirely to the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Names the specific service (Mux Video), the scope (read-only, the token's environment), and the exact resources: assets and the direct uploads that create them. The three `op` values are each described with a distinct verb-resource pair, and the read-only framing cleanly separates it from the sibling `mux_act`.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a clear context for each op and explicitly points at `mux_act` op='create_upload' as the thing that produces the uploads `get_ingest` reads, so the read/write split is inferable. It never states an explicit when-not or a decision rule between `get_asset` and `list_assets` with `upload_id`, which are near-overlapping lookups.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
