A3.9/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation3/5

The generic Apify plumbing tools (get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, get-key-value-store-record, abort-actor-run) are reasonably distinct, but the single podcast-transcript entry point is buried inside the abort-actor-run description, blurring start vs. abort vs. poll. An agent could easily mistake which tool actually kicks off a transcript run, and start-and-wait overlaps with get-actor-run + get-dataset-items for retrieving results.

Naming Consistency4/5

All visible tool names follow a predictable kebab-case verb_noun pattern (abort-actor-run, get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, get-key-value-store-record). The only deviation is the domain tool, which appears as an Actor-slug name (catalyst-labs--podcast-transcript-api) rather than matching the get_/abort_ convention.

Tool Count4/5

Five tools is a well-scoped set for a single-purpose transcript API: one start/lookup tool plus poll, results, dataset, and abort helpers. Nothing egregious is padded in, though two of the five are generic Apify infrastructure rather than transcript-specific capability.

Completeness3/5

The core lifecycle (start run, poll status, fetch dataset rows, abort) is covered, but discovery operations are absent: there is no way to list runs, datasets, or keys, and the key-value tool explicitly only fetches a single record when the exact key is known. An agent starting from an episode URL has a workable path, but any exploration or cleanup workflow dead-ends.

Available Tools

5 tools
abort-actor-runAbort Actor runA
DestructiveIdempotent
Inspect

Abort an Actor run that is currently starting or running. For runs with status SUCCEEDED, FAILED, ABORTING, ABORTED, or TIMED-OUT, this call has no effect. The results will include the updated run details after the abort request.

USAGE:

  • Use when you need to stop a run that is taking too long or misconfigured.

USAGE EXAMPLES:

  • user_input: Abort run y2h7sK3Wc

  • user_input: Gracefully abort run y2h7sK3Wc

Inputs: runId (required), gracefully. Returns: tip, runId, stats, status, +10 more

catalyst-labs--podcast-transcript-apicatalyst-labs/podcast-transcript-apiA
Destructive
Inspect

This tool calls the Actor "catalyst-labs/podcast-transcript-api" and retrieves its output results. Actor description: Starts a podcast transcript run (RSS, Apple, episode or audio URL) and waits up to waitSecs (max 45s). Returns results, or a runId to poll with get-actor-run, then get-dataset-items. Use those for runs already started. Publisher transcript $0.01, else Whisper $0.009/min; failures free.

Inputs: sources (required), language, waitSecs, monitorId, +13 more. Returns: tip, runId, stats, status, +10 more

get-actor-runGet Actor runA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get detailed information about a specific Actor run.

Returns run result: status, storages (datasets/keyValueStores alias map), stats, summary, nextStep.

  • summary describes the past (e.g. "SUCCEEDED in 22s. 47 items; 3 fields available.").

  • nextStep prescribes one primary follow-up action with identifiers interpolated (e.g. "Use get-dataset-items with datasetId=...").

  • waitSecs (0–45, default 30) waits up to that many seconds for terminal status before returning.

USAGE:

  • Use to check the status of a run started by any Actor-running tool.

  • Pass waitSecs > 0 to block until terminal (or until the cap elapses).

USAGE EXAMPLES:

  • user_input: Show details of run y2h7sK3Wc

  • user_input: Wait for run y2h7sK3Wc to finish

Inputs: runId (required), waitSecs. Returns: tip, runId, stats, status, +10 more

get-dataset-itemsGet dataset itemsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get items (rows) from a dataset — the output/results produced by an Actor run. Returns the rows themselves, not dataset metadata, counts, or a schema. When the user provides a datasetId and asks to retrieve results, output, data, or rows, call this tool directly. Default limit is 20. Use clean=true to skip empty items and hidden fields.

USAGE:

  • Use when you need to read data from a dataset (all items or only selected fields).

USAGE EXAMPLES:

  • user_input: Retrieve results from dataset abc123

  • user_input: Get only metadata.url and title from dataset username~my-dataset

Inputs: datasetId (required), desc, omit, clean, +4 more. Returns: items, limit, offset, summary, +5 more

get-key-value-store-recordGet key-value store recordA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get the value stored under a specific key in a key-value store — a single record, not a listing of all keys. Requires the exact key name. The response preserves the original Content-Encoding; most clients handle decompression automatically.

USAGE:

  • Use when you need to retrieve a specific record (JSON, text, or binary) from a store.

USAGE EXAMPLES:

  • user_input: Get record INPUT from store abc123

  • user_input: Get record data.json from store username~my-store

Inputs: recordKey (required), keyValueStoreId (required). Returns: key, value, summary, contentType, +1 more
