|---|---|---|---|
| MEDIA_DIR | No | The directory containing videos to edit. If not set, defaults to the server's launch directory. | . |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| get_media_infoA | Inspect a video or audio file: duration, resolution, codecs, fps, bitrate, file size. |
| trim_videoA | Cut a clip out of a video between a start time and either an end time or a duration (seconds). |
| merge_videosA | Concatenate two or more video files into one, in the given order. Clips are auto-scaled to match so different resolutions/codecs can be joined. |
| convert_formatA | Convert a video/audio file to a different container/codec. The output format is inferred from the output_path extension (e.g. .mp4, .mov, .webm, .avi, .mp3). |
| extract_audioA | Extract the audio track from a video file and save it as an MP3. |
| resize_videoA | Resize/scale a video. Provide width, height, or both (aspect ratio is preserved if only one is given). |
| crop_videoC | Crop a video to a rectangular region. |
| rotate_videoB | Rotate and/or flip a video. |
| change_speedA | Speed up or slow down a video (audio pitch is preserved). speed_factor > 1 speeds up, < 1 slows down (e.g. 2 = 2x faster, 0.5 = half speed). |
| adjust_volumeA | Change the audio volume of a video, or mute it entirely. |
| extract_frameA | Grab a single still frame from a video at a given timestamp and save it as an image. |
| add_text_overlayA | Burn text (e.g. a caption or title) onto a video, optionally only during a time range. |
| add_watermarkC | Overlay a logo/watermark image onto a video at a chosen corner or the center. |
| add_fadeB | Add a fade-in and/or fade-out to a video, audio, or both. |
| compress_videoA | Reduce a video file size by re-encoding it with a given quality level (CRF). Lower CRF = higher quality/larger file; higher CRF = smaller file/lower quality. 28 is a reasonable default. |
| generate_gifB | Convert a segment of a video into an animated GIF. |

TDQS
Scored across 16 tools
Each tool targets a distinct video/audio editing operation with clear separation: inspecting, extracting, trimming, merging, converting, resizing, cropping, rotating, speed/volume changes, frame grabbing, overlays, fades, compression, and GIF generation. Even overlapping pairs like convert_format vs compress_video or extract_frame vs generate_gif have well-defined differences in purpose and output.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using lowercase with underscores (get_media_info, extract_audio, trim_video, etc.). There are no mixed conventions, camelCase, or vague verbs, making the toolset highly predictable.
With 16 tools, the set is slightly above the typical 3-15 sweet spot, but each tool serves a distinct common editing need. The count feels justified given the broad scope of video editing, though one or two could be consolidated (e.g., add_text_overlay and add_watermark are both overlays).
The toolset covers core video editing workflows: inspect, trim, merge, convert, transform (resize/crop/rotate), audio adjustment, frames, text/watermark overlays, fades, compression, and GIF export. Missing operations like video stabilization or color grading are minor gaps for a basic editor, and agents can accomplish most tasks without dead ends.
