Find historically similar audience moments across the screen network using embedding similarity search. Input a natural-language description of the target moment. Moment embeddings are 768-D vectors generated from multi-modal observation data (visual, audio, environmental, social) via the MomentEmbeddingService. This tool embeds your query text and finds the closest real-world moments via approximate nearest-neighbour (ANN) cosine similarity over a Lance IVF_PQ index. CONSISTENCY: results are APPROXIMATE and EVENTUALLY CONSISTENT. - Approximate: retrieval is ANN, not an exhaustive scan (measured recall ~0.96 against exact KNN), so an identical query may omit a borderline match. - Eventually consistent: the index is served from a replicated pool whose replicas refresh independently, so for up to 5 minutes after new moments are published, two identical calls may return slightly different result sets. The difference is confined to the VISIBILITY of newly-published moments; the relative ranking of already-visible ones does not change. Do not use this tool where a repeatable, exhaustive result set is required.

[AdCP Media Buy] Get available DOOH advertising products and packages. NO AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED. Discovery is open — read the catalogue first, get a key when you want to transact. Send a natural-language `brief` and it is answered from what the screens actually observed: each product's `description` reports the hours people are really in frame (in the screens' own local time), how long they dwell, the mood / movement / gaze the on-device sensors reported, what the speech layer heard people shopping for — and, explicitly, which of your words we cannot evidence. Products are ordered by that evidence. WHEN TO USE: - Browsing available inventory before creating a campaign - Comparing pricing across venue types and locations - Understanding what's available in a specific market, at a specific time of day RETURNS: - products: Array of product packages with pricing, reach, and observed audience - Each product includes: name, description (free text answering your brief), venue_type, screen_count, pricing_options, and `observed` — the numbers behind the prose, present only where we measured something - brief_interpretation: how we read your brief, so you can see if we read it right EXAMPLE: User: "commuters who are bored and hungry around lunchtime" get_products({ brief: "commuters who are bored and hungry around lunchtime" })

[AdCP Signals] Get real-time audience signals from DOOH screens. This is an AdCP (Ad Context Protocol) compliant tool. It returns deterministic audience signals captured by edge AI (vision + audio + speech) on available screens. WHEN TO USE: - Discovering available audience signals before buying inventory - Evaluating audience composition at specific venues or locations - Building targeting segments based on real-time audience data Unlike probabilistic data, these signals are DETERMINISTIC — captured by on-device cameras and microphones, analyzed by ML Kit and Gemini Vision. RETURNS: - signals: Array of per-screen signal objects with demographics, venue, behavior, geo - metadata: total_screens, matching_screens, screens_with_live_data EXAMPLE (AdCP form — natural language): User: "What audience signals are available at retail locations?" get_signals({ signal_spec: "shoppers in retail venues, demographics and behavior" }) EXAMPLE (structured form): get_signals({ signal_spec: { signal_types: ["demographics", "behavior"], filters: { venue_type: "retail" } } })

Aggregate social attention metrics across screens and time periods. Shows which venues and dayparts have the highest social amplification. Summarizes measured social attention events within your authorized scope by the requested dimension (venue, daypart, or screen), computing average SAF, average cascade depth, average viral attention score, and event count. WHEN TO USE: - Understanding which venues generate the most social amplification - Comparing daypart effectiveness for social contagion - Identifying top-performing screens for attention cascading - Planning campaigns that leverage social proof RETURNS: - data: Array of aggregated rows, sorted by avg SAF descending - group_key: the dimension value (venue type, daypart, or screen ID) - avg_saf: average social amplification factor - avg_cascade_depth: average attention cascade depth - avg_viral_attention_score: average viral attention score - event_count: number of social attention events in the group - payload: null - metadata: { group_by, group_alias, time_range, total_events } EXAMPLE: User: "Which venues have the highest social amplification this week?" get_social_contagion_summary({ group_by: "venue", time_range: { start: "2026-03-09", end: "2026-03-16" } }) User: "Show me social attention by daypart over the last 7 days" get_social_contagion_summary({ group_by: "daypart" })

[AdCP Protocol] Get the status of a previously issued AdCP task. Every AdCP task Trillboards serves for an AUTHENTICATED caller is recorded and returned a `task_id`. Poll that id here to read the task's terminal state and, with `include_result: true`, its completion payload. Trillboards answers every AdCP task in-process, so a task is already `completed` by the time you hold its id — this tool exists so a buyer that polls does not hang, and so an async arm has somewhere to report from when one lands. TASK SCOPE: tasks are visible only to the account that created them. An id belonging to another account, an id we never issued, or a poll with no credential all answer identically — "Task <id> not found" — so the surface cannot be used to probe which ids exist. NOT RECORDED: read-only protocol and catalogue calls that AdCP does not model as tasks (get_adcp_capabilities, list_creative_formats, get_media_buys, list_accounts), and any anonymous call, which has no account to scope to.

Get your current billing period usage summary with per-product breakdown and costs. Shows free tier consumption, paid usage, and total cost.

Import an AI model’s image through native bytes, moderation and brand review. Provide exactly one of asset_url, source_creative_id or image_base64. Inline bytes require content_type. PNG, JPEG and WebP are staged through native ownership, actual MIME, byte-hash, brand review and moderation. The existing data_api/api_calls tariff applies.

[AdCP Accounts] List the accounts this credential can transact on. This seller's account model is 'explicit': one API key IS one account, so this returns exactly one account — the partner behind the key. Use it to discover your account_id before any account-scoped call, and to confirm the account's status before you buy. WHEN TO USE: - Discovering the account_id to pass to account-scoped tasks - Checking your account is 'active' before creating a media buy - Introspecting what your key is permitted to do (accounts[].authorization.allowed_tasks) RETURNS: - accounts: AdCP Account objects (account_id, name, status, operator, brand, billing, account_scope) plus an authorization object naming the tasks this key may invoke - pagination: has_more is always false — one credential, one account EXAMPLE: list_accounts({}) list_accounts({ status: "active" })

[AdCP Media Buy] List the creative formats this network actually accepts. Every format is DERIVED from live per-screen capability (panel size, min/max spot length, audio) — not a hand-written list. The set published here is exactly the set sync_creatives accepts: if a creative matches a format returned by this tool, it will not be rejected for dimensions, duration or file size. WHEN TO USE: - Before building creative, to size it to the panels you are buying - To check whether an existing asset can run on this network - To find the panel sizes with the most reach (results are ordered by live screen count) RETURNS: - formats: AdCP Format objects (format_id, name, renders[].dimensions, assets[].requirements) - pagination: cursor-based; total_count is the full catalogue size - Each format carries ext.trillboards with the live screen count, the share of the network, how many of those screens have audio, and — for video — duration_coverage: how many screens accept a spot of at most 10/15/20/30/60/120/300 seconds. A long ceiling does not mean every screen at that size can play it, and this says so. EXAMPLE: User: "What sizes and lengths does this network take?" list_creative_formats({ pagination: { max_results: 20 } }) User: "Can I run a 1080x1920 portrait video?" list_creative_formats({ format_ids: [{ agent_url: "https://api.trillboards.com/mcp", id: "dooh_video_1080x1920" }] })

[AdCP Creative] List the creatives this buyer has on file with us. OUR LIBRARY IS PER-BUY, AND THIS SAYS SO. AdCP's creative library models concepts, variables, assignments and snapshots; ours does not have those. A creative here is the one asset attached to a media buy by sync_creatives, so this is a projection of YOUR OWN buys — never someone else's assets, and never an invented concept_id to look richer than we are. WHEN TO USE: - To confirm a creative you sent actually landed, and where it is in review - To see which media buy a creative is attached to (include_assignments: true) - Before cancelling a buy, to check what happens to its creative RETURNS: - creatives[]: creative_id, name, format_id ({agent_url, id}), status, created_date, updated_date. Status is 'pending_review' until the buy is servable, then 'approved' — every creative goes through the same moderation every other creative on this network goes through. - query_summary: total_matching + returned - pagination: cursor-based, with total_count EXAMPLE: User: "Did my creative go through?" list_creatives({ filters: { media_buy_ids: ["mbuy_123"] }, include_assignments: true })

EXAMPLE: Agent: "What read-only endpoints can I call?" list_endpoints({ agent_safe: true })

List every error code in the Trillboards API error catalog. WHEN TO USE: - Understanding what error codes the API can return. - Building a client-side error handler that covers all cases. - Looking up error types, HTTP statuses, and documentation URLs. RETURNS: - object: "list" - data: Array of { code, type, http_status, description, doc_url } - total: Total number of error codes. Equivalent to GET /v1/errors but executed in-process (no HTTP round-trip). EXAMPLE: Agent: "What error codes can the API return?" list_error_codes()

[AdCP Protocol] List AdCP tasks belonging to your account, newest first. Returns `query_summary` (totals and a status breakdown), `tasks`, and `pagination`. Filter by status or task type. Scoped to the calling account — an unauthenticated call returns an empty page rather than another account's tasks.

List all webhook subscriptions for the partner account. WHEN TO USE: - Viewing all configured webhooks - Auditing webhook subscriptions - Finding a webhook to update or delete RETURNS: - webhooks: Array of webhook objects with: - webhook_id: Unique identifier - url: Endpoint URL - events: Subscribed events - enabled: Whether webhook is active - created_at: Creation timestamp - last_delivery: Last successful delivery time EXAMPLE: User: "Show me all my webhooks" list_webhooks({})

Predict the VAS (Viewability Attention Score) a specific creative would achieve at a given moment, based on historical data and causal modeling. Uses the CausalPredictionService which: 1. Embeds the moment description to find historically similar moments 2. If >= 5 similar moments exist with the same creative, uses weighted-average prediction 3. If insufficient data, falls back to Gemini generative prediction 4. Always decomposes the prediction into causal factors WHEN TO USE: - Evaluating whether a creative will perform well in a specific context - A/B testing creative placement hypotheses before committing budget - Understanding which causal factors drive VAS for a creative - Comparing expected performance across different moment types RETURNS: - prediction: { predictedVAS (0-1), confidence (0-1), method ('historical'|'model'), sampleSize } - causal_factors: { audienceMatch, contextMatch, attentionState, socialPotential } (each 0-1) - metadata: { creative_id, moment_description } - suggested_next_queries: Follow-up queries EXAMPLE: User: "How would a coffee ad perform at a transit station during morning rush?" predict_moment_quality({ moment_description: "transit venue, morning commute, 12 viewers, high attention, mostly 25-34 age range", creative_id: "coffee-brand-morning-30s" })

Semantic search over content library using natural language queries and 768-D pgvector embeddings. WHEN TO USE: - Finding content by description or theme ("upbeat music videos", "cooking shows") - Discovering content similar to a concept or mood - Searching the content library without knowing exact titles or IDs - Content discovery for programmatic content scheduling RETURNS: - data: Array of matching content with similarity scores - videoId, title, contentCategory, description, durationSeconds - reviewStatus (approved/pending/rejected) - similarity (0-1, cosine similarity against query embedding) - meta: { count, query, limit, minSimilarity } EXAMPLE: User: "Find fitness and workout content" search_content({ query: "fitness workout exercise gym", limit: 10, min_similarity: 0.6 }) User: "Search for calming nature content suitable for medical offices" search_content({ query: "calming nature scenes peaceful landscapes meditation", min_similarity: 0.5 })

Search screens by natural language scene description using pgvector. Uses 768-dimensional Gemini embeddings on scene descriptions from FEIN edge AI to find screens matching a natural language query.

Search observations by semantic similarity. Find moments that match a description like "lunch rush at fast casual restaurants" using vector embeddings. Uses 768-dimensional Gemini embeddings on observation payloads to find promoted observations matching a natural language query via approximate nearest-neighbour (ANN) cosine similarity search over a Lance IVF_PQ index. CONSISTENCY: results are APPROXIMATE and EVENTUALLY CONSISTENT. - Approximate: retrieval is ANN, not an exhaustive scan (measured recall ~0.96 against exact KNN), so an identical query may omit a borderline match. - Eventually consistent: the index is served from a replicated pool whose replicas refresh independently, so for up to 5 minutes after new observations are published, two identical calls may return slightly different result sets. The difference is confined to the VISIBILITY of newly-published observations; the relative ranking of already-visible ones does not change. Do not use this tool where a repeatable, exhaustive result set is required. TIME BOUND: searches the last 30 days by default. Pass filters.time_range to widen or narrow it; the window actually applied is echoed in metadata.time_range. WHEN TO USE: - Finding observations that match a conceptual description - Discovering contextual moments across the screen network - Searching for audience situations ("families waiting in line", "professionals on coffee break") - Finding commerce patterns ("high purchase intent near checkout") RETURNS: - data: Array of matching observations ranked by semantic similarity, each with: - observation_id, device_id, venue_type, observation_family - observed_at, payload, confidence, evidence_grade - similarity: Cosine similarity score (0-1, higher = more relevant) - metadata: { result_count, query_embedding_model, search_scope, time_range } - suggested_next_queries: Related semantic queries to explore EXAMPLE: User: "Find lunch rush moments at fast casual restaurants" semantic_search_observations({ query: "lunch rush at fast casual restaurants with high foot traffic", filters: { venue_type: ["restaurant_qsr"] }, limit: 20 }) User: "Find moments with high emotional engagement" semantic_search_observations({ query: "audience showing strong positive emotional reactions", filters: { observation_family: ["audience"] }, limit: 10 })

[AdCP Accounts] Establish or confirm the account behind this credential. IMPORTANT — what this does NOT do: it does not provision a new account. This seller's namespace is one account per API key, so a provisioning-mode entry (brand + operator + billing) is LINKED to the account your key already owns and the response says so in warnings[]. Two different brands on one key resolve to the SAME account_id. Register one agent per brand at https://api.trillboards.com/v1/partner/agent/register if you need per-brand separation. BILLING IS THE ONE SETTING THAT IS APPLIED. Send billing: 'operator' (we invoice you, buying direct) or 'agent' (you are a buying agent consolidating across the brands you front, and we invoice you for all of them — the marketplace-clearing model). The value is stored on the account, reported back by list_accounts, and reflected in action 'updated'. The set we accept is exactly account.supported_billing from get_adcp_capabilities; 'advertiser' is refused, with the reason, because we hold no billing relationship with a third-party advertiser. One key is one account with one invoiced party, so a request declaring two different billing values applies neither and says so. Everything else is read-only and reports 'unchanged': payment terms, billing entity and notification subscriptions are not per-account state on this platform, and anything sent that was not applied is named in warnings[] rather than silently swallowed. WHEN TO USE: - The account-setup step at the start of a buying flow - Declaring how you want to be invoiced, before create_media_buy - Confirming your account_id and status before create_media_buy RETURNS: - accounts: per-entry result with account_id, action ('updated' | 'unchanged' | 'failed'), status, billing, account_scope, and warnings naming anything not applied EXAMPLE: sync_accounts({ idempotency_key: "8f1c...", accounts: [{ brand: { domain: "acme.example" }, operator: "agency.example", billing: "agent" }] })

[AdCP Media Buy] Validate and sync creative assets for a media buy. Validates creative assets (resolution, duration, format) against screen specifications.

An id belonging to another account, an id we never issued, or a poll with no credential all answer identically — "Task <id> not found" — so the surface cannot be used to probe which ids exist. NOT RECORDED: read-only protocol and catalogue calls that AdCP does not model as tasks (get_adcp_capabilities, list_creative_formats, get_media_buys, list_accounts), and any anonymous call, which has no account to scope to. LEGACY NAME. Identical to `get_task_status`; this is the name the AdCP MCP binding emits (`agent.protocol === "mcp" ? "tasks_get" : "tasks/get"`). Prefer `get_task_status` in new code.

[AdCP Protocol] List AdCP tasks belonging to your account, newest first. Returns `query_summary` (totals and a status breakdown), `tasks`, and `pagination`. Filter by status or task type. Scoped to the calling account — an unauthenticated call returns an empty page rather than another account's tasks. LEGACY NAME. Identical to `list_tasks`. Prefer `list_tasks` in new code.

WHEN TO USE: - Verifying webhook endpoint is working - Testing integration during development - Debugging webhook delivery issues RETURNS: - success: Boolean indicating delivery success - response_code: HTTP response code from endpoint - response_time_ms: Response time in milliseconds - error: Error message if delivery failed EXAMPLE: User: "Test my webhook with a device.online event" test_webhook({ webhook_id: "wh_mmmpdbvj_8b7c5a59296d", event: "device.online" })

Replace native creative weights at the expected policy version. Uses your authenticated native buyer and existing funded placement.

[AdCP Media Buy] Update an existing media buy (campaign). Modify budget, targeting, schedule, or status of an existing media buy. WHEN TO USE: - Adjusting campaign budget mid-flight - Pausing or resuming a campaign - Changing targeting parameters - Extending campaign dates EXAMPLE: update_media_buy({ media_buy_id: "mbuy_abc123", updates: { status: "paused", budget: { daily_usd: 300 } } })

Update an existing webhook subscription. WHEN TO USE: - Changing the webhook endpoint URL - Adding or removing subscribed events - Enabling or disabling a webhook - Updating the webhook description RETURNS: - webhook_id: The updated webhook ID - url: Updated endpoint URL - events: Updated event subscriptions - enabled: Updated enabled status - updated_at: Update timestamp EXAMPLE: User: "Disable the webhook for maintenance" update_webhook({ webhook_id: "wh_mmmpdbvj_8b7c5a59296d", enabled: false }) User: "Add impression events to my webhook" update_webhook({ webhook_id: "wh_mmmpdbvj_8b7c5a59296d", events: ["device.online", "device.offline", "impression.recorded"] })

Validate a proposed request payload against the registered Zod schema for an operation, returning the exact canonical error envelope the HTTP surface would emit. WHEN TO USE: - Before calling a write endpoint, to catch payload bugs locally. - Debugging 400 validation_error responses. RETURNS: - valid: true when the payload would pass Zod validation. - When invalid, the canonical { error: { type, code, message, param, doc_url, details[] } } envelope is included under `error`. EXAMPLE: validate_request({ path: "/v1/data/query", method: "POST", payload: { dataset: "inference_outcomes", limit: 9999 } })

Verify cryptographic proof of ad delivery or get campaign proofs. Requires either campaign_id or proof_payload (at least one must be provided). Two modes: 1. Verify a proof: pass proof_payload with signature fields to verify 2. Get proofs: pass campaign_id to get Ed25519-signed proofs for a campaign Uses Ed25519 signatures (v2) that can be independently verified by third parties using the Trillboards public key. WHEN TO USE: - Verifying that ads were actually delivered to screens - Exporting cryptographically signed proof records for auditors - Getting proof-of-play data for campaign transparency reports RETURNS (verify mode): - valid: boolean, reason: string if invalid, version: 'v1' or 'v2' RETURNS (get proofs mode): - campaignId, totalImpressions, proofsReturned - proofs: Array of signed impression proofs - pagination: { limit, hasMore, nextCursor } - signatureVersion, publicKeyUrl EXAMPLE (verify): verify_proof_of_play({ proof_payload: { signature: "ed25519=abc123...", timestamp: "2026-03-10T15:30:00Z", adId: "ad_123", impressionId: "imp_456", screenId: "scr_789", deviceId: "dev_012" } }) EXAMPLE (get proofs): verify_proof_of_play({ campaign_id: "camp_abc123", start_date: "2026-03-01", end_date: "2026-03-10" })
