Audit and Manage Video Assets

Need to check what's floating around? You can use `list_videos` to pull a complete inventory of all videos associated with your account. Then, if something needs adjusting, just call `update_video` to change the metadata on that asset. This helps you track down every video without having to manually browse dashboards. It's quick work for auditing purposes.

Discover Public Content

Wanna find something specific? The `search_videos` tool lets your AI client search Vimeo's public catalog instantly. This function narrows down results based on keywords, saving you a ton of browsing time. It’s perfect for when you need to show someone an example video or check competitor content.

Structure and Organization

The `list_folders` tool lets your agent see every project folder set up under your account. You can also list out all associated groups using `list_groups`. This gives you a clear map of how your content is organized. If you're building an internal wiki or documentation site, knowing the structure upfront makes everything easier.
