MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~926 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
cut_youtube_video ~807

Cut a clip (or clips) from a YouTube video and return its download URL. Submits a cut job to AppsGolem and (by default) polls until it's produced, then returns the produced status — which includes a download_url once a download token is ready. Pricing: 1 credit per produced clip (4K = 4/clip, except audio_only which stays 1; a known source duration > 2h adds +1 once); a batch/stitch of N clips costs N per-clip. Failed cuts are never billed. On a wait-timeout the result has still_processing=true; poll get_cut_status with the returned id.

NameTypeReqDescription
audio_formatstring|nullaudio_only output format — "mp3"(default)/"m4a"/"wav"/"flac". both always produces MP3.
bitratestring|nullLossy-audio bitrate "320"(default)/"256"/"192"/"128" — MP3/M4A in audio_only, MP3 in both; ignored for wav/flac.

clipsA non-empty list of 1–10 {start,end} ranges INSTEAD of start/end.
endstring|nullClip end as "SS"/"MM:SS"/"HH:MM:SS" (≤300h). Omit when passing clips.
fastboolean|nullStream-copy (≈10× faster, keyframe-aligned); video/nosound/both only. Mutually exclusive with a non-1× speed — fast wins and speed is forced to 1.0.
idempotency_keystring|nullA stable key (≤200 chars) so a retried request reuses the same job.
interval_msFrames sampling interval — 100/500/1000/2000(default)/5000/10000; non-sheet extraction is capped at 1800 JPGs total across all clips.
modestringOne of "video" (video file, default; MP4 normally, source container e.g. WebM in fast mode), "audio_only" (mp3/m4a/wav/flac), "both" (video + MP3 zip), "nosound" (video, no audio), "short" (portrait…

speednumber|nullPlayback speed 0.5/1.0/1.25/1.5/2.0; video/nosound/both/audio_only.
startstring|nullClip start as "SS"/"MM:SS"/"HH:MM:SS" (≤300h). Omit when passing clips.
stitchboolean|nullWith 2+ clips, join them into one file (else a zip of clips); ignored for a single clip; video/audio_only/both/short/nosound only.
timeout_secondsintegerPolling deadline in seconds when wait=true (default 300); submission + one in-flight status request can extend total wall-clock.

Check a cut job's status by its id. Returns the job's state (accepted / queued / produced / delivered / failed / refunded) and, once produced/delivered, a download_url when a download token is available. Use this to poll a job started with cut_youtube_video(wait=false) or one that timed out.
