## Description

Managing a cloud gaming platform is a headache of tab-switching and manual monitoring. You're usually juggling worker statuses, checking if your concurrency limits are actually holding up under load, and manually spinning up sessions when the crowd arrives. This Connector changes that. Instead of hunting through the Tencent Cloud Console to find a specific game ID or checking if a worker is idle, you just tell your AI agent what needs to happen. You can lock workers for specific users, kill hung streams, and adjust your capacity limits on the fly. It acts as a direct bridge to the Tencent START platform, making it much easier to handle the heavy lifting of game instance orchestration. Because Vinkius makes it so easy to connect these types of tools, you can get your infrastructure under control without the usual friction. You get a way to monitor real-time user concurrency and manage your game catalog from a single chat interface. It takes the manual work out of the backend so you can focus on the player experience. You can see exactly how many people are online, check which workers are ready for the next batch of players, and ensure that your platform scales perfectly with your audience.

## Tools

### stop_publish_stream
This cuts off the video stream for a specific user immediately. Use it if a user's feed is hanging or needs to be closed.

### try_lock_worker
This reserves a specific cloud gaming instance for a user. It ensures that a player gets a dedicated spot in the queue.

### create_session
This tool starts a new cloud gaming session for a player. It allows you to onboard users quickly without manual intervention.

### get_capacity_limit
This shows the maximum number of concurrent users allowed for a specific game. You can use it to plan for upcoming traffic spikes.

### get_concurrent_user_info
This tells you how many people are actually playing a game right now. It is vital for monitoring your real-time traffic.

### get_worker_info
This pulls up the details of a worker assigned to a specific user. Use it to troubleshoot individual connection issues.

### list_games
This shows all the titles currently hosted on the Tencent GS platform. It gives you a quick overview of your active game catalog.

### list_workers
This gives you a full list of workers and their current operational status. It is the fastest way to see your fleet health.

### modify_capacity_limit
This changes the max player count for a game to handle traffic spikes. Use it to scale your capacity up or down as needed.

### stop_game
This ends a session and releases the instance back into the pool. It is the primary way to free up resources for other users.

### stop_publish_stream_by_action
This shuts down a video stream using a specific action code. It allows for more granular control over how streams are terminated.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many people are currently playing CrossFire?
```

**Response:** 
```
I checked the current concurrency for CrossFire. There are 42 users currently online. Would you like me to check the capacity limit to see if we can host more?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List the workers and tell me if any are idle.
```

**Response:** 
```
| Worker ID | Status |
|---|---|
| W-992 | Occupied |
| W-993 | Idle |
| W-994 | Maintenance |
| W-995 | Idle |
There are 2 idle workers ready for new sessions.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Increase the player limit for League of Legends to 200.
```

**Response:** 
```
Updating the capacity limit for League of Legends... Done. The new limit is 200 concurrent users. I've also verified that the infrastructure is ready to scale.
```

## Capabilities

### Create and lock game sessions
Start new game instances for players and reserve specific hardware for them.

### Monitor real-time user concurrency
Check exactly how many people are currently playing your games in real-time.

### View worker status and details
See the health and availability of your entire cloud gaming worker fleet.

### Manage game capacity limits
Adjust the maximum number of concurrent users for any title in your catalog.

### List available games and titles
Retrieve a full list of all games currently hosted on your platform.

### Stop hung streams and game sessions
Kill broken video feeds or end sessions to free up resources immediately.

### Check global worker availability
Verify which workers are idle and ready for new player connections.

## Use Cases

### Handling a sudden viral spike
A platform operator sees a game trending and uses modify_capacity_limit to increase the player cap immediately.

### Clearing out stuck sessions
An engineer notices a hung instance and uses stop_publish_stream to kill the feed without restarting the whole worker.

### Verifying worker availability
A developer asks the agent to list_workers to see if there's enough room for a new tournament.

### Automated session locking
A system uses try_lock_worker to reserve a high-performance instance for a premium user.

## Benefits

- Stop manually checking worker statuses by using list_workers to see everything at a glance.
- Scale your game capacity instantly using modify_capacity_limit when player demand spikes.
- Manage user sessions more effectively with create_session and try_lock_worker to ensure smooth access.
- Monitor real-time traffic with get_concurrent_user_info to keep your platform running smoothly.
- Quickly clear out hung instances by using stop_game or stop_publish_stream to free up resources.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a direct command line for your cloud gaming infrastructure inside your AI chat.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I use Tencent START to manage my cloud gaming sessions?**
Yes, this Connector lets you create, lock, and stop game sessions directly through your AI agent. It handles the backend orchestration so you don't have to manually manage every instance.

**How does Tencent START help with scaling for big events?**
You can use it to modify concurrency limits on the fly. This lets your agent adjust how many players can join a game as demand changes during live events.

**Can I see which workers are currently active with Tencent START?**
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to list all workers and see their current status, including whether they are occupied, idle, or in maintenance.

**Does Tencent START work with my existing Tencent Cloud account?**
It does. You'll just need to provide your SecretId and SecretKey from the Tencent Cloud Console to connect your agent to the Cloud Gaming service.

**Is Tencent START good for monitoring real-time user counts?**
Yes, it provides tools to check current concurrency for specific games. This helps you keep an eye on traffic without leaving your chat interface.

**Can I automatically list all available games on the platform?**
Yes! Use the `list_games` tool. It will retrieve metadata for all configured cloud games, including their names and unique identifiers.

**How do I check the status of my cloud gaming workers?**
Use the `list_workers` tool. It returns the availability and current operational state of all server instances allocated to your account.

**Can I dynamically modify the concurrency limit for a game?**
Yes! Use the `modify_capacity_limit` tool with the target Game ID and the new maximum concurrent user count to scale your capacity.
