A3.8/5.0

Scored across 20 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have clearly distinct targets (list vs get vs scaffold vs prepare), and descriptions go out of their way to state boundaries, e.g. prepare_announcement vs prepare_video_template and the two schema tools. The main risk area is the several creation pathways (create_video_brief, edit_video_brief, propose_video_storyboard, prepare_*), which are distinguishable only after reading long descriptions.

Naming Consistency5/5

Every name follows a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern with a small, predictable verb set (create, edit, get, list, prepare, propose, review, scaffold, diagnose). Prefixes map cleanly to operation types, so the surface is easy to scan.

Tool Count4/5

20 tools is on the heavy side, but the server genuinely spans two domains (hosted briefs/renders and local VideoSpec/carousel scaffolding) plus discovery metadata. Seven get_* metadata tools add overhead but each covers a different artifact (capabilities, two schemas, guide, example, instructions, template).

Completeness4/5

The lifecycle is largely covered: discovery, listing, planning/storyboard, preparation, render, status polling, error diagnosis, review, and copy edits via approval. Gaps are modest — no cancel-render or delete/archive-project operation, and publishing is deliberately out of scope, which agents can work around.

Available Tools

20 tools
create_video_briefRender an Instavar videoA
Idempotent
Inspect

Create a private hosted video and start rendering after the user confirms the complete brief and plan usage. Requires account linking. Automatic supplemental footage defaults to off; set automaticBroll to auto only if the user explicitly requests it. Preserve visual exclusions in scenes[].generationContract.prohibitedChanges, separately from the visible copy. Use real source media or explicitly accepted generated visuals for demonstrations; never silently replace requested footage with text. Plan distinct shots for a story, with each generated motion shot at most 15 seconds. For silent videos set narrationMode off and supply explicit scenes; omit script and any unsupplied caption. publishTarget is an optional layout hint, not a publish action; preserve the accepted aspectRatio. Put exact spoken words in script for narration, never filmmaking directions. Supplied originals must be uploaded and bound; do not replace missing branded media with stock. This is the hosted brief contract, not VideoSpec or paired-announcement source. Preserve requestId when retrying the same request, including after a timeout; use a new UUID for changed content. Returns a queued job, not a finished video. Does not publish.

Inputs: title (required), confirmed (required), objective (required), requestId (required), +18 more.

diagnose_render_errorDiagnose render errorB
Read-only
Inspect

Classify a local validation or render error and return a safe next step.

Inputs: errorText (required).

edit_video_briefPrepare a copy edit for approvalA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Prepare exact title, script or caption changes for an existing private video. Returns a Studio approval link; this call does not save copy or start a render. The signed-in user must review and approve there. Approval changes the current run, consumes rerender credits and revokes existing review links. Previous run records are retained. Does not publish. Preserve requestId for unchanged retries.

Inputs: jobId (required), confirmed (required), requestId (required), title, +3 more.

get_capabilitiesGet video capabilitiesA
Read-only
Inspect

Call first. Reports public planning features and optional account features. Public access metadata does not indicate session authentication; use list_video_projects to verify private read access.

Inputs: no named parameters.

get_creative_guideGet a visual communication guideA
Read-only
Inspect

Read practical guidance before drafting concise plain or poetic copy, choosing carousel stories, designing visuals or recording human feedback. Returns guidance for the calling assistant to apply, not generated copy or saved feedback. Omit guideId to list guides.

Inputs: guideId.

get_exampleGet VideoSpec exampleB
Read-only
Inspect

Return a valid starter example for one template family.

Inputs: templateId (required).

get_render_instructionsGet local render instructionsB
Read-only
Inspect

Return the clone, install, validate, preview, render, and QA workflow.

Inputs: client.

get_templateGet video templateA
Read-only
Inspect

Get one template's purpose, aspect ratios, scene kinds, and example identifier.

Inputs: templateId (required).

get_video_render_statusCheck video renderA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Check the requested private render and its output URL, errors and recovery guidance. Keep workspaceId from creation. When a video is available, call review_video_project to show playback. A queued or rendering state is not completion. Do not automatically submit another render on failure.

Inputs: jobId (required), workspaceId.

get_video_schemaGet VideoSpec schemaA
Read-only
Inspect

Return the published JSON Schema for VideoSpec version 1.0.

Inputs: no named parameters.

list_templatesList video templatesA
Read-only
Inspect

List the published video template families, each available in Remotion and HyperFrames, and optionally filter by output aspect ratio.

Inputs: aspect.

list_video_projectsList my Instavar videosA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

List recent private Instavar video projects after the user links their account. Returns the currently resolved workspace in accountContext; billing details are included only with billing.read permission. Recorded credits are a read-only snapshot, not a reservation or render eligibility guarantee. Use this before review_video_project when the user has not supplied a project ID. Do not infer current workspace or allowance from an older job.

Inputs: limit, workspaceId.

prepare_announcementPrepare an announcement in Remotion or HyperFramesA
Read-only
Inspect

Prepare one paired announcement-card-v1 template, continue its caller-held project, edit copy or switch frameworks. Returns source files for local rendering. For the paired announcement-card-v1 or a HyperFrames announcement request, use prepare_announcement. Never infer a framework from creative wording. Omit framework unless the user explicitly chooses one or says no preference. If needs-selection, ask the user. Continue with the latest returned project and expectedRevision; apply edits through edits before switching. Keep the returned project document for later calls. Never describe this caller-held document as a saved hosted project. VideoSpec templates use prepare_video_template in either framework.

Inputs: copy, edits, project, framework, +1 more.

prepare_video_templatePrepare a template video in Remotion or HyperFramesA
Read-only
Inspect

Validate one VideoSpec against the paired template contract and return local source for the chosen framework, or switch an existing project's framework. For a VideoSpec template in Remotion or HyperFrames, use prepare_video_template with the VideoSpec. Never infer a framework from creative wording; omit framework unless the user chose one or said no preference, and ask the user on needs-selection. Continue with the returned project: edit project.spec, then call again to regenerate or to switch frameworks. A rejected field is unsupported in both frameworks; fix it rather than dropping it. The tool returns local source and commands; it does not render, save or upload.

Inputs: spec, project, framework.

propose_video_storyboardPropose a video storyboardA
Read-only
Inspect

Turn an ordinary video request into a three-beat visual proposal and recommended template. Pass templateId to preserve an accepted template when changing only the aspect; omit it for a new direction. This tool does not generate images, save a project, render, or publish.

Inputs: brief (required), cta, body, title, +3 more.

review_video_projectReview my Instavar videoA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Open a focused review of one private Instavar video after account linking. This tool does not edit, render, approve, or publish.

Inputs: jobId (required), workspaceId. Returns: jobId, title, status, message, +5 more

scaffold_video_specScaffold VideoSpecA
Read-only
Inspect

Return a deterministic VideoSpec skeleton. This tool does not generate creative copy or write files.

Inputs: title (required), templateId (required), cta, body, +4 more.
