Can I see all available AI avatars via AI?

Yes! Use the `list_avatars` tool. Your agent will retrieve the complete directory of stock avatars available in Synthesia for your videos.

How do I check the status of a video being processed?

Run the `get_video_details` query with your Video ID. The agent will retrieve the real-time status (e.g., in_progress, completed) and the final download link if ready.

Is it possible to generate a video using a custom template?

Absolutely. Use the `create_video_from_template` tool. Provide the Template ID and a JSON object with the data for your dynamic variables to trigger the generation.
