Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
broll_status broll status ~73
Report workspace location, ffmpeg availability, configured generation providers, and social platform readiness. Call this first to see what is possible. Pass probe: true to live-verify social credentials (makes real authenticated API calls, posts nothing).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| probe | boolean | – | Live-verify social platform credentials (no posts are made) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_post_draft Create post draft ~87
Create a reviewable post draft (text + media + target platforms). Validates against per-platform rules (char limits, media counts/sizes) and reports violations. Nothing is published — drafts are files the user can inspect; use publish_post to send.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| media | array | – | Asset ids or absolute paths |
| platforms | array | yes | – |
| text | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
create_thread_draft Create thread draft ~82
Create a multi-post thread draft. On publish, posts chain as replies under the first one (Bluesky reply refs, X in_reply_to). Each post has its own text and up to 4 images, validated per platform. Nothing is published until publish_post with confirm: true.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| platforms | array | yes | – |
| posts | array | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
extract_frame Extract frame ~43
Extract a single PNG frame from a video at a timestamp — use it to visually QA a render.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset | string | yes | – |
| atSec | number | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
generate_image Generate image ~113
Generate image(s) with the user’s own API keys (BYO-key: OpenAI or Gemini; falls back to a labelled mock when no keys are set). Returns workspace asset ids usable in render_video, render_carousel, and post drafts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| aspect | string | – | – |
| label | string | – | Human-readable label stored on the asset |
| n | integer | – | – |
| prompt | string | yes | – |
| provider | string | – | Force a provider by name: openai | gemini | mock |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
generate_video Generate video ~88
Generate a short video clip with the user’s own API keys (Gemini Veo when configured; labelled mock otherwise). Expensive with real keys — only call when the user’s workflow needs generated footage.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| aspect | string | – | – |
| durationSec | integer | – | – |
| prompt | string | yes | – |
| provider | string | – | Force a provider by name: gemini | mock |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
import_asset Import asset ~49
Copy a local file (image/video/audio) into the broll workspace and get an asset id for it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| label | string | – | – |
| path | string | yes | Absolute path to the file |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_assets List assets ~31

No examples provided.
probe_asset Probe asset ~37
Inspect a media file: duration, dimensions, codecs, streams. Accepts an asset id or absolute path.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| asset | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
publish_post Publish post ~112
Publish a draft to its target platforms. Requires confirm: true — never call this without the user’s explicit go-ahead in the conversation. Platforms without credentials fail independently with setup instructions; "export" always succeeds and writes a ready-to-post bundle.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. Confirms the user explicitly approved publishing this draft now. |
| draftId | string | yes | – |
| platforms | array | – | Publish to only this subset of the draft’s platforms (e.g. test one network first). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
render_carousel Render carousel ~60
Render branded carousel slides (the Instagram/LinkedIn format). Layout, fonts, accent bar, page numbers, and watermark are deterministic code; backgrounds can be plain color or any image asset. Returns one asset per slide.

| avatarAsset | string | – | Asset id or absolute path of an image |
| bio | string | – | – |
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. Confirms the user explicitly approved this profile change. |
| displayName | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
