Also the Brief Quality grade (A to F) and its red flag tags, how to join (open or application, minimum views, cap, platform fee, payout window), the before-you-post checklist and the link to the original brief. Also every rule grouped as the campaign page shows it: what to make, the full DO and DON'T lists, the caption (mentions and hashtags per app, the exact text, keywords, the bio link, the pinned comment), the FTC disclosure, brand safety, the audience (who, where from, how it is checked), page criteria (new or established pages, dedicated page, banned niches), posting rules, the creator profile, other requirements, the thresholds and caps (min views, min engagement, followers, max a creator, posts an account), each with its source (Platform, Brief, or Seen on slide 3), and the materials: the brief documents by name, the sound with its link and the example post URLs. Signed in, the brief documents include the files the clipping platform gives the clippers who join. Never a transcript or a media file. Read only.

Get the moments

Use this when the user asks which moments to clip or what a campaign's videos are: the analyzed source videos of a campaign and the moments worth clipping in each. Per source the video details we store: title, the channel it came from, publish date, length, view count, language, speaker count, chapters with their times, format (shape and on-screen text lines), readiness (how clip-ready it is), Clip Potential (0 to 100) and a short summary in our own words. A brand file is named by its number, never by its file name, and has no link here. Per moment the start and end, what happens there in our own words, its score, whether it opens on a spoken line, its 9:16 fit and a Watch link that opens the original video at that second. Every moment of the Moment Map, signed in or not, with brand risk moments flagged. Signed in, the videos the clipping platform gives the clippers who join carry their details and Watch links too. Never a transcript or a transcript line. Signed in, a separate ClippingAlpha tool cuts a moment of any video or brand file listed here into a vertical MP4 with captions.

The brand asset links (Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, WeTransfer, OneDrive, Box, Mega) the campaign page shows, named by service. Signed in, every brand link named by its file: also the ones behind a sign-in, the Evangelist library, and the footage the clipping platform gives the clippers who join. Download instructions and published footage passwords belong to the brief and creative plan. A watch link alone does not establish a downloadable file. Also exampleClips, the clipping platform's top clips: other clippers' approved posts (app, post link, handle, the views the platform reports, rank), most viewed first, examples of what gets approved and never footage to cut. Links only here, never a transcript. Signed in, a separate ClippingAlpha tool cuts the videos and brand files listed here into vertical MP4s. Read only, this tool opens no link and cuts nothing.

Each clip carries its hook idea, labelled as a suggestion, and the hook ideas no clip carries follow. Signed out, the best 3 clips a source. Signed in, a handful of clips a source, the footage the clipping platform gives the clippers who join included, and the footage password when the brand published one for clippers. Each clip also carries the ffmpeg command that cuts it, 9:16 at 1080 by 1920, from a file the clipper downloaded themselves. Signed in, a separate ClippingAlpha tool cuts these clips by number into vertical MP4s with captions and download links. For planning or cutting clips, the top clipping campaign is the first of the top campaigns listed with cuttable true, the ones ClippingAlpha can cut. On a campaign it cannot cut, the plan says so and names the top one it can cut. Never a tran…

Output parameters:

- `deleted` (boolean)

### `my_referral` (~139 tokens)

My referral

Use this when the signed-in clipper asks about their referral link, invites, friends or referral badges: their link (clippingalpha.com/r/ and their handle), how many friends counted, the next badge and how many more friends reach it, the ladder (Insider, Heavyweight, Top Dog, Boss, Mogul, Kingmaker) with what each gives, and each invited friend by first name or handle with their step. A friend counts once they connect a social account and are active in their first day. Rewards are badges and in-product perks, never cash. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in. Read only.

### `cut_clips` (~607 tokens)

Cut clips

Use this when the signed-in clipper asks to cut, make or download clips, for example "cut clips 1 to 3" after the creative plan numbered them. ClippingAlpha's server cuts each clip from the campaign's source video into a vertical 1080 by 1920 MP4 with captions burned in, the brief's #ad on screen when it asks for one, and loudness levelled. For planning or cutting clips, the top clipping campaign is the first of the top campaigns listed with cuttable true, the ones ClippingAlpha can cut. Takes the clip numbers of the campaign's creative plan, brand clips and mixes included, or a source_id with a start and end in seconds. A mix is one 20 to 45 second edit from 2 to 4 segments across the campaign's videos, the hook first, each segment trimmed on sentence edges and joined with short crossfades, one caption style and the loudness levelled over the whole edit. A mix comes by its number in the creative plan, or as an edit of 2 to 4 segments, and counts as one clip. It cuts the footage the campaign gives its clippers, as the signed-in answers list it: the YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Instagram and X videos it links and its brand files (Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, WeTransfer, OneDrive, Egnyte, the Evangelist media library), the footage its clipping platform gives the clippers who join included. Never an upload or a video ClippingAlpha has not read: a campaign it cannot cut is refused with the top campaign it can cut instead. Up to 5 clips a call and 10 a day, within a daily clip limit per clipper and a daily total for all clipping. A refused call says when the limit resets and uses none of it. Answers at once with the clip ids. The download links follow when the clips are ready, usually within a minute or two. Each link works for 24 hours. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in. Nothing is posted anywhere. The clipper asks for the cut for their own work on the campaign and is responsible for using it within the campaign's, the brand's and the platforms' rules (cl…

- `edit` (object): Or one mix of your own: 2 to 4 segments of the campaign's videos, cut into one vertical edit.
- `ranges` (array): Or exact ranges of the campaign's videos or brand files.

Output parameters:

- `campaign` (string)
- `clipIds` (array)
- `clips` (array)
- `open` (number)

### `my_clips` (~181 tokens)

My clips

Use this when the signed-in clipper asks whether their clips are ready or wants the download links: the clips ClippingAlpha cut for them, by clip id or the last 24 hours. Per clip its state (queued, cutting, ready, not cut with the reason, or expired), its range, size, length, whether captions are on, and once ready a private HTTPS download link to the MP4 that works for 24 hours. Also the clipper's daily clip limit, what is left and when it resets. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in. Read only.

Input parameters:

### `connect_account` (~188 tokens)

Connect a social account

Use this when the signed-in clipper asks to connect their TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or X account, for example "connect my TikTok @rin.clips", so For you ranks campaigns for it. Returns a short bio code like alpha-7KQM and the steps: put the code in the account's bio, then say done, and check_account finds it. The code is good for 24 hours. The same account again returns the same code while it is good, an expired one a fresh code. Up to 10 accounts per ClippingAlpha account. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in. Nothing is posted anywhere and nothing changes on the social account.

Input parameters:

- `handle` (string, required): The account's handle, as @name, name or its profile link.
- `platform` (string, required): The social app: tiktok, instagram, youtube or x.

Output parameters:

- `account` (object)
- `next` (string)

### `check_account` (~256 tokens)

Check a connected account

Use this when the signed-in clipper says they put the bio code from connect_account in their bio ("done"), or asks whether their account is connected. ClippingAlpha reads the account's public profile once for the code. The read takes a moment, so the first answer is Checking: call it again in about 30 seconds for the result. Connected, it answers the account with its followers and For you ranks campaigns for it. Not connected, it answers why (code not in bio, account private, not found) and what to do. After a failed check, call it with recheck true once the clipper says they fixed it. Takes the handle or its id, or nothing for the account checked last or the one account waiting. Checks are limited per day. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in.

Input parameters:

- `handle` (string): The account's handle, as @name, name or its profile link.
- `id` (string): The account id of an earlier answer.
- `platform` (string): The social app: tiktok, instagram, youtube or x.
- `recheck` (boolean): True to read the profile again after a failed check, once the clipper says they fixed it.

Output parameters:

- `account` (object)
- `next` (string)

### `my_accounts` (~87 tokens)

My connected accounts

Use this when the signed-in clipper asks which social accounts they connected: every TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X account on their ClippingAlpha account with its state (connected, checking, waiting for its bio code, code expired, not connected with the reason) and, while it waits, its bio code. Needs the clipper's ClippingAlpha sign-in. Read only.

Output parameters:

- `accounts` (array)
- `max` (number)
