• premiere_shot_log

  Build the numbered V1 shot log (SH001, SH002…) from the sequence your Premiere panel shares: timeline in and out, source in and out, duration (timecode and exact ticks), source file, clip reference, and, once Describe shots has run in the panel, each shot's description, size and…

• premiere_edit_status

  Read an edit outcome. Only done means Premiere reported verified readback; cancelled requests already running may finish. First call premiere_list_connections to get the deviceId of your connected Premiere panel.

• aftereffects_render

  Render the shared composition with aerender in the background and put the movie in the Switch library. The project must be saved. Poll aftereffects_edit_status until done; result.assetId is the library asset every other Switch tool can use. Start with a short range (a 3 second…

• explore_models

  Browse the image-generation models available to your Switch account: exactly the models generate_image accepts, each with the model name to pass and the tokens one picture takes (the same number the charge takes). Free to call.

• check_balance

  How many tokens you have left: your token balance, the tokens spent today, and any daily limit with what remains. Use this whenever someone asks how many tokens or credits they have. Optionally pass an `estimatedCost` (USD) to also get whether you can afford it.

• spend_log

  What your calls cost: every charge on this account over the last `hours` (default 24), newest first, each with what it was for, the model, the tokens it was worth, the tokens actually taken, and the dollar value at Switch retail; plus totals, the current token balance, and what…

• list_generations

  List your recent and active picture generations: queued batches and the pictures generate_image made right in the chat. Returns counts per status (pending / running / completed / failed) plus an array with id, status, prompts, model, ref counts, scheduledAt, finishedAt. Videos…

• show_generation

  Get the full detail of one of your generations by its id — prompts, model, ref counts, saved/failed counts, ETA hint, asset ids. Also takes a video task or job id (from generate_video) and an audio generation_id or request_id, and answers with that job's status and links.

• check_job_status

  Polling-friendly status check for one of your jobs: a picture task (generate_image), a video (the task_id or job_id from generate_video) or an audio take (a generation_id or a rendering request_id). Returns a slim shape with `kind`, `status`, `progressPct`, and `eta` (plus the…

• show_media

  Display the user's images inline — one or many. Users speak plainly and will NOT know asset ids; never ask for one, resolve it yourself. For "show me" or "show me my last image" call with NO arguments (shows the most recent image). For "show me my last 4 images / my last 10…

• list_my_folders

  List the folders in your Switch library (id, name, parent). Use this to find an existing folder and its id; search_my_library looks inside your library by words.

• list_my_assets

  Return your asset METADATA only (id, truncated prompt, model, created date), newest first. This does NOT display images and must NOT be used to show pictures — if the user says "show me / display my last image(s)", call show_media instead (it renders them; pass count=N for…

• search_my_library

  Search your library by prompt substring (metadata only — id, prompt, date). Optional folderId scopes to one folder. Only your own assets are returned. This does NOT display images; to show/display results to the user, pass their ids to show_media.

• get_my_active_references

  Read your staged references in Switch Studio. Returns TWO groups: (1) the image-generation reference strip (typed face/body/outfit/scenery/product slots) under `refs`, and (2) the VIDEO-tab references the user staged in the Omni/Image video tabs (the @Image1/@Image2 strip) under…

  List the Switch Styles you can use for your edits, the short codes for editing a talking video (O Openers, W Words, F Frames, R Receipts, B Beats, U App Moments, K Kicks, M Motion Graphics, P Pace, A Audio, G Grade): each code with its group, name, one line, when to use it, the…

• apply_style

  Get the short style card and the full edit prompt for the Switch Style codes you pick (for example "O10 W1 F4 B6 A2 G4", or your own learned style such as "Y1"), or a 4 to 6 code suggestion for the feeling you describe for your video. Show the card and wait for a yes before…

• suggest_speech_seconds

  How many seconds a video clip should be for a spoken line, so the words are never rushed or dragged. Give it the spoken text (or a word_count) and it returns a suggested duration for four delivery energies: slow and dramatic, natural, upbeat, and super charismatic…
