## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VIDEO_DB_ASK_COLLECTION` | Ask Collection | Queue a grounded question-answer request over a VideoDB collection's Search V2 indexes. This search-family call is metered and requires Search V2 indexes. The returned status only confirms the async request state, not a successful answer. Pass response_id to GET_ASYNC_RESULT and inspect the terminal result. |
| `VIDEO_DB_CREATE_COLLECTION` | Create Collection | Create a VideoDB collection for organizing and searching media. Collections are private by default. |
| `VIDEO_DB_GET_ASYNC_RESULT` | Get Async Result | Check one VideoDB async operation by response ID. Returns its current state or terminal provider result without polling repeatedly, and fails when a completed nested provider response reports success:false. |
| `VIDEO_DB_GET_COLLECTION` | Get Collection | Get metadata for one VideoDB collection by ID. |
| `VIDEO_DB_GET_MEDIA` | Get Media | Get metadata for one VideoDB video, audio file, or image. |
| `VIDEO_DB_INGEST_MEDIA` | Ingest Media | Queue ingestion of a video, audio file, or image from an HTTP(S) URL into a VideoDB collection. This non-idempotent call is metered; live billing reported file_upload at 0.09 credits. Queue acceptance is not completion. Pass the returned response_id to GET_ASYNC_RESULT, and verify the prior job before retrying after an ambiguous failure to avoid duplicate charges. |
| `VIDEO_DB_LIST_COLLECTIONS` | List Collections | List collections available to the connected VideoDB API key and identify the default collection. |
| `VIDEO_DB_LIST_MEDIA` | List Media | List videos, audio files, or images in one VideoDB collection using one normalized media interface. Video results return at most one page and may include an opaque continuation cursor. |
| `VIDEO_DB_RENAME_MEDIA` | Rename Media | Rename one VideoDB video, audio file, or image. |
| `VIDEO_DB_SEARCH_COLLECTION` | Search Collection | Run synchronous semantic search over indexed media in a VideoDB collection. This metered call consumed 0.0015 credits per successful call during live Free_v1 probing, including calls that returned empty fallback results. |
| `VIDEO_DB_UPDATE_COLLECTION` | Update Collection | Update the name, description, or visibility of an existing VideoDB collection. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute VideoDB Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute VideoDB actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Search my VideoDB collection for videos mentioning quarterly revenue'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Search my VideoDB collection for videos mentioning quarterly revenue'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for VideoDB
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to VideoDB tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Find VideoDB clips where speakers discuss customer churn')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Find VideoDB clips where speakers discuss customer churn'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```
