## MCP tools (3)

### `transcribe_url` (~83 tokens)

Transcribe audio or video from a URL

Turn a publicly reachable audio or video URL into text with per-segment timings and a detected language. Costs $0.02 per call, paid in USDC from your own wallet. The file must be under 800 KB; oversized files are refused for free before any payment.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Public http(s) URL of the audio or video file.

### `find_dead_air` (~128 tokens)

Find the silence worth cutting

Given subtitles or timings, return the spans of dead air and how much of the runtime cutting them would save. Costs $0.002 per call — a tenth of transcription, because the expensive half is not redone. Feed it the segments transcribe_url returns.

Input parameters:

- `durationSeconds` (number): Total runtime in seconds. Improves the saving estimate; optional.
- `segments` (array): Timings as [{start, end, text}] in seconds — exactly what transcribe_url returns.
- `vtt` (string): WebVTT subtitles. Use this or segments, not both.

### `shop_info` (~39 tokens)

What this costs before you spend anything

Free. Returns the prices, the size limit, the chain and how payment works, so an agent can decide whether to call the paid tools at all.
