Controlled Player Updates with MCP Server

The agent can manage player containers by listing them all via `list_video_players`. It also lets you set a new display title using `update_player_name`, ensuring that the data type matches expectations. This high degree of type safety means your logic won't break when changing video player titles.

Getting Specific Video Details

You can pull technical metadata on a video asset using `get_video_details`. If you need the direct links for multiple stream qualities (like 720p), use `get_video_source_files`. These tools allow your Pydantic AI agent to validate that all necessary inputs and outputs are correct before proceeding.

Full Asset Lifecycle Control

Need to add a video? Call `attach_video_to_player` with the two required IDs. Need cleanup? Use `delete_video_asset` or `delete_video_player`. The ability to call these functions makes your agent robust and predictable. It's great knowing that even destructive actions are handled through validated tool calls.
