Search for Videos

The `search_videos` tool lets you find specific content across the platform. You just set a goal—like 'find all my instructional videos from last quarter'—and Cascade runs the search, returning exactly what you need. You don't have to prompt step by step. Windsurf figures out the best sequence of actions and executes it for you.

Manage Video Uploads

Need to handle a new piece of content? Use `create_video_upload` to generate an upload ticket. This tool handles the initial steps, letting your agent get the process going so you can focus on editing. Once it's uploaded, you can use `update_video` to change metadata, making sure titles and descriptions are spot-on.

List User Content

Checking what content exists is quick with the `list_my_videos` tool. It pulls a list of every video tied to your account so you can quickly audit your library. If you need more detail, you'll also find tools like `list_user_albums`, which lets you see all the curated showcases belonging to a user.
