## MCP tools (1)

### `digest_url` (~1110 tokens)

Read a social media post as text

Turn a social media URL into LLM-ready context. Works on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, YouTube, X and ordinary web pages. Returns the post's transcript, on-screen text, image descriptions, caption and metadata — the things you cannot get by fetching the URL yourself, because these posts are video or images behind tokenised share links. Use this whenever you are given a social media link. Bilibili, Instagram and Facebook are not supported. A long video may not finish in one call: if the result names a job id, call this tool again with that job_id (and no url) to collect it. Set breakdown to true to also get a teardown of how the post is built (hook, timed beats, reusable template) — useful when the user wants to learn from or remake a post. For a long video (a talk, a course, a podcast), set depth to transcript: the whole transcript with a frame a minute, at about half the per-minute price. A digest says how much of the post it captured and what it did not read (a Coverage section in markdown; `coverage` in json), and backs each key point with a short quote the server checked against the post (`key_point_support` in json, verified true or false).

Input parameters:

- `ask` (string): A question to answer from the post, in any language: "what products and prices does it recommend?", "does the speaker say X?", "what is step three?". The answer comes with the quotes it rests on, eac…
- `breakdown` (boolean): Also take the post apart (爆款拆解): the hook in its first seconds, the structure as timed beats, the title formula, cover text, call to action, audience, and a reusable template to make your own version…
- `depth` (string): How much of a video to read. full (default): the transcript plus frames sampled densely, 1 credit per started minute. transcript: transcript-first, for long videos — the whole transcript plus one fra…
- `format` (string): markdown (default, best for reading) or json (structured). json adds `coverage` (seconds_transcribed, duration_seconds, largest_frame_gap_seconds, images_read, images_total, not_captured) and `key_po…
- `job_id` (string): Collect a digest already running. Pass the job id from a previous call instead of url. Use this rather than re-sending the url, which would start the work again.
- `partial_ok` (boolean): Read the opening minutes the budget affords instead of refusing a video over max_credits or the plan's length cap. Default false: a long video is refused and costs nothing (YouTube excepted: its leng…
- `translate_to` (string): Also translate the digest into this language: an ISO 639-1 code, optionally with a region (en, ja, zh-CN). The original-language text is always returned; the translation is added alongside it under `…
- `url` (string): The post URL, including any share tokens. Required unless job_id is given.
