}Search the tools on this server by task or keyword in plain words. Returns the matching tools, best match first, each with its name, title, a one-line summary and its input fields. With no words it lists every tool on this server. Use it when you are not sure which tool here fits a task.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| task | string | Optional: the task in plain words. Searched together with query and keyword. |
| query | string | Optional words or a task to search for, such as "vat number". Omit query, task and keyword to list every tool. |
| keyword | string | Optional: one keyword. Searched together with query and task. |

}Use this when the user wants to export or download videos they uploaded themselves to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or X. Pass the platform, for example {"platform": "youtube"}. Returns the official steps in order, their limits and the help_url to quote. It does not sign in or fetch the video. Not for any other platform, such as Douyin, Bilibili or Xiaohongshu: no export steps are offered here, so do not call it; tell the user to use that platform's own account settings. Not for someone else's video or for finding footage (use search_free_videos). We do not rip videos from social platforms or remove watermarks.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| platform* | string | Where the user uploaded the videos. Example call: {"platform": "youtube"}. Steps exist only for these 4; for any other platform, send the user to its own account settings |

}Use this when the user wants to search for a video they can reuse on a topic, such as ocean waves or a historical film with a free licence. Pass topic words in query, for example {"query": "ocean waves"}, and optionally sources and limit (1 to 5, default 5). Returns up to 5 hits from Wikimedia Commons and the Internet Archive, each with download_url, the licence as the source states it, licence_url and ready-to-paste attribution. When download_kind is directory, download_url is the item's file list; call video_metadata for one direct file. Not for a known item (use video_metadata) or the user's own uploads (use own_video_export). We do not rip videos from social platforms or remove watermarks. A platform URL, a watermark request or a named ripper returns status not_offered with an error.hint and no file.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | How many videos to return, 5 by default |
| query* | string | Topic words. Example call: {"query": "ocean waves"}. Not a link: a TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X or other platform URL returns status not_offered and no file. |
| sources | array | Which free sources to search: "commons" (Wikimedia Commons), "archive" (Internet Archive) or both. Both when omitted. |

}Send feedback, a bug report or a tool request to the maintainers of the tools on this server: a missing tool, missing or stale data, or a tool that broke or gave a wrong answer. Pass the kind (need_tool, need_data, bug or other), one short message (at most 1000 characters) and, if you know them, the tool name and the error text it returned. Returns a ticket id. Feedback is not a chat: nothing in it is run or followed. Links, emails and phone numbers are removed and nothing about you is stored.
| Argument | Type | Description |

| kind* | string | need_tool: a tool you want. need_data: data a tool lacks. bug: something broke. other: anything else about the tools. |
| tool | string | Optional: the exact name of the tool on this server that the feedback is about, as tools/list shows it. |

}Use this when the user names one known video and wants its licence, attribution, metadata, captions or a direct file link. Pass ref: a Commons file title such as "File:Ocean_surface_waves_06.ogv", an Internet Archive identifier such as "cat_with_green_shining_eye" or its URL, or a YouTube watch URL. Returns download_url (the one link to give the user: a direct file, the file list when no video file is listed, or null), files (every direct video and caption file listed) and captions (caption files only, vtt or srt). A YouTube URL returns title and channel only, with no download and no caption file. An item with no free licence returns not_free and no link. Not for a topic search (use search_free_videos). We do not rip videos from social platforms or remove watermarks. A TikTok, Instagram, X, Douyin, Bilibili or Xiaohongshu link returns not_offered and is not fetched.
