Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| transcribe_urlA | Turn a publicly reachable audio or video URL into text with per-segment timings and a detected language. Costs $0.05 per call, paid in USDC from your own wallet. The file must be under 800 KB; oversized files are refused for free before any payment. |
| find_dead_airA | Given subtitles or timings, return the spans of dead air and how much of the runtime cutting them would save. Costs $0.002 per call — a tenth of transcription, because the expensive half is not redone. Feed it the segments transcribe_url returns. |
| shop_infoA | Free. Returns the prices, the size limit, the chain and how payment works, so an agent can decide whether to call the paid tools at all. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a completely distinct role: transcribe_url handles audio-to-text, find_dead_air post-processes timings to find silence, and shop_info provides pricing metadata. There is zero overlap in purpose.
Tool names follow a clear verb_noun pattern (transcribe_url, find_dead_air, shop_info) with snake_case. shop_info deviates slightly from the domain-action style of the others, but it is still predictable and readable.
Three tools is perfectly scoped for this server: a core action (transcribe), a derived analysis (find_dead_air), and informational helper (shop_info). No tool feels extraneous, and the count matches the narrow purpose well.
The tool surface covers the key transcription workflow and provides a helpful cost info tool. An obvious gap is the lack of an update or delete operation for transcripts, but for a consumption-oriented service this is reasonable. The surface feels complete for its intended use.
