## MCP tools (3)

### `cut_youtube_video` (~807 tokens)

Cut a YouTube video

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.

Input parameters:

- `audio_format` (string|null): audio_only output format — "mp3"(default)/"m4a"/"wav"/"flac". both always produces MP3.
- `bitrate` (string|null): Lossy-audio bitrate "320"(default)/"256"/"192"/"128" — MP3/M4A in audio_only, MP3 in both; ignored for wav/flac.
- `burn_ts` (boolean|null): Frames — burn the source timestamp onto each JPG.
- `clips`: A non-empty list of 1–10 {start,end} ranges INSTEAD of start/end.
- `end` (string|null): Clip end as "SS"/"MM:SS"/"HH:MM:SS" (≤300h). Omit when passing clips.
- `fast` (boolean|null): Stream-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_key` (string|null): A stable key (≤200 chars) so a retried request reuses the same job.
- `interval_ms`: Frames sampling interval — 100/500/1000/2000(default)/5000/10000; non-sheet extraction is capped at 1800 JPGs total across all clips.
- `mode` (string): One 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…
- `resolution` (string): 144p/240p/360p/480p/720p/1080p (default)/1440p/2160p (4K; total cut ≤60 min).
- `sheet` (boolean|null): Frames — a single contact-sheet JPG (2..80 frames, single clip); disables burn_ts.
- `speed` (number|null): Playback speed 0.5/1.0/1.25/1.5/2.0; video/nosound/both/audio_only.
- `start` (string|null): Clip start as "SS"/"MM:SS"/"HH:MM:SS" (≤300h). Omit when passing clips.
- `stitch` (boolean|null): With 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_seconds` (integer): Polling deadline in seconds when wait=true (default 300); submission + one in-flight status request can extend total wall-clock.
- `url` (string, required): A YouTube video URL (watch/share/youtu.be — playlists rejected).
- `wait` (boolean): Poll until ready (default) up to the timeout_seconds polling deadline.

### `get_cut_status` (~97 tokens)

Check a cut job

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.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): The job id (a UUID) returned by cut_youtube_video.

### `get_account_balance` (~22 tokens)

Account balance

Return the API account's spendable credit balance and hourly cap.
