Can I check if a video has been processed and is active?

Yes! Use the `get_video` tool with the Video ID. Your agent will fetch the current state, showing if it is 'ACTIVE', 'INACTIVE', or still being processed.

How do I list all the videos with a specific tag?

Simply ask the agent to `list_videos` and provide a search query like `tags:summer`. It will retrieve all matching media assets from your library.

Does the integration allow creating a new playlist?

Yes. Use the `create_playlist` action and provide a name and type (e.g., EXPLICIT or SMART). You can then organize your videos into this new collection.
