Can I automatically list all active users in an Agora channel?

Yes! Use the `list_channel_users` tool with the project AppID and the target Channel Name. Your agent will return a list of UIDs currently connected to that session.

How do I start a cloud recording session via the AI agent?

Use the `start_cloud_recording` tool with the necessary parameters (AppID, Channel Name, and recording config). The agent will trigger the Agora cloud recording engine and return the Resource ID and SID.

Can I monitor the total minutes consumed by my project this month?

Yes! The `get_usage_metrics` tool retrieves granular consumption data, including audio and video minutes, filtered by date range or project.
