## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `get\_creative\_guide`: Read practical guidance before drafting concise plain or poetic copy, choosing carousel stories, designing visuals or recording human feedback. Returns guidance for the calling assistant to apply, not generated copy or saved feedback. Omit guideId to list guides.
- `prepare\_announcement`: Prepare one paired announcement-card-v1 template, continue its caller-held project, edit copy or switch frameworks. Returns source files for local rendering. For the paired announcement-card-v1 or a HyperFrames announcement request, use prepare\_announcement. Never infer a framework from creative wor
- `prepare\_video\_template`: Validate one VideoSpec against the paired template contract and return local source for the chosen framework, or switch an existing project's framework. For a VideoSpec template in Remotion or HyperFrames, use prepare\_video\_template with the VideoSpec. Never infer a framework from creative wording;
- `get\_capabilities`: Call first. Reports public planning features and optional account features. Public access metadata does not indicate session authentication; use list\_video\_projects to verify private read access.
- `list\_carousel\_templates`: List the account-free editorial carousel story structures.
- `get\_carousel\_schema`: Return the JSON Schema for deterministic Instavar carousel decks.
- `scaffold\_carousel\_deck`: Build a deterministic editorial carousel deck from accepted copy. This does not render, save, or publish it.
- `list\_templates`: List the published Remotion template families and optionally filter by output aspect ratio.
- `get\_template`: Get one template's purpose, aspect ratios, scene kinds, and example identifier.
- `get\_video\_schema`: Return the published JSON Schema for VideoSpec version 1.0.
- `get\_example`: Return a valid starter example for one template family.
- `propose\_video\_storyboard`: Turn an ordinary video request into a three-beat visual proposal and recommended template. Pass templateId to preserve an accepted template when changing only the aspect; omit it for a new direction. This tool does not generate images, save a project, render, or publish.
- `scaffold\_video\_spec`: Return a deterministic VideoSpec skeleton. This tool does not generate creative copy or write files.
- `get\_render\_instructions`: Return the clone, install, validate, preview, and render workflow.
- `diagnose\_render\_error`: Classify a local validation or render error and return a safe next step.
- `list\_video\_projects`: List recent private Instavar video projects after the user links their account. Returns the currently resolved workspace in accountContext; billing details are included only with billing.read permission. Follow billing.draftCreditCheck: for a shortfall, explain the missing credits, link to billing,
- `review\_video\_project`: Open a focused review of one private Instavar video after account linking. This tool does not edit, render, approve, or publish.
- `create\_video\_brief`: Create a private hosted video and start rendering after the user confirms the complete brief and plan usage. Requires account linking. Automatic supplemental footage defaults to off; set automaticBroll to auto only if the user explicitly requests it. Preserve visual exclusions in scenes\[\].generation
- `edit\_video\_brief`: Prepare exact title, script or caption changes for an existing private video. Returns a Studio approval link; this call does not save copy or start a render. The signed-in user must review and approve there. Approval changes the current run, consumes rerender credits and revokes existing review link
- `get\_video\_render\_status`: Check the requested private render and its output URL, errors and recovery guidance. Keep workspaceId from creation. When a video is available, call review\_video\_project to show playback. A queued or rendering state is not completion. Do not automatically submit another render on failure.
