Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handlers.ts:22-37 (handler)Handler function for the 'convert_video' tool that performs video format conversion using FFmpeg.
case "convert_video": { const inputPath = validatePath(String(args?.inputPath), true); const outputPath = validatePath(String(args?.outputPath)); const options = String(args?.options || ""); await ensureDirectoryExists(outputPath); const command = `-i "${inputPath}" ${options} "${outputPath}" -y`; const result = await runFFmpegCommand(command); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Video conversion completed: ${inputPath} → ${outputPath}\n\n${result}` }] }; } - src/tools/definitions.ts:20-41 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'convert_video' tool.
