Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
transcribe_urlA

Transcribe a video from URL using three-tier strategy.

Tier 1: Extract platform subtitles (zero cost, fastest) Tier 2: Download audio + Whisper local transcription (offline, free) Tier 3: Return guidance for closed platforms (Xiaohongshu/WeChat)

For videos under 30 minutes, use sync mode (default) for direct results. For longer videos, set async_mode=true to get a task_id, then poll with get_transcript_status. Adjust segment_minutes for 1h+ videos.

transcribe_fileA

Transcribe a local audio/video file using Whisper.

Supports mp3, m4a, mp4, wav, flac, and other FFmpeg-compatible formats. For files over 30 minutes, use async_mode=true. Adjust segment_minutes for 1h+ files to reduce segment count.

get_transcript_statusA

Check the status of an async transcription task.

Returns the task status, progress, and result (if completed). Poll this periodically until status is 'completed' or 'failed'.

list_transcriptsA

List all completed transcripts.

Returns a list of completed transcription tasks with metadata. Use get_transcript_status with a task_id to get full transcript text.
