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 →
export_transcript Export a transcript ~102
Export a finished transcript as SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown, or JSON, with correct caption timings. Segment-level export is free; word-level-timed export (word_level:true) is a paid unlock. (DOCX/PDF are available in the Pepys web app.)
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | yes | – |
| job_id | string | yes | – |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_transcription Get transcription result ~103
Fetch a transcription by job_id: full text, per-speaker timestamped segments, summary, duration_seconds, billed_minutes, and language. Set wait_ms (up to 25000) to long-poll so short clips come back in one call; otherwise poll until status is 'done'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| feed_url | string | yes | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

| limit | integer | – | – |
| status | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

transcribe Transcribe audio/video ~336
Transcribe hours-long audio or video into an accurate, speaker-labeled (diarized), timestamped transcript with correctly-timed SRT/VTT captions – work a general model can't do on a raw file. Accepts a file_ref from upload_file or a url (YouTube, podcast episode, RSS feed, Google Drive/Dropbox share). Audio is never used to train models. Returns { job_id, status }; fetch the result with get_transcription.
