Perplexity

Monitor and manage calls via the MCP Server

Team members can monitor activity by calling `get_active_rooms` to list all running sessions. If a user needs to be removed, the agent executes `kick_user`. These functions let you build governance scripts that ensure compliance across teams. The Copilot Chat uses this data source for shared, organization-wide rules enforcement.

Audit meeting quality and users in a repo

Before merging code, audit the live environment. Use `get_quality_metrics` to check stream health or `get_room_users` to verify who attended. This ensures that any automation built relies on accurate, real-time data. The MCP Server allows your team to enforce standards using these monitoring tools.

Manage media streams and recordings for compliance

For compliance recording, the agent can manage both sides: initiating a capture with `start_cloud_record` or halting it with `stop_cloud_record`. You also control stream visibility using `mute_stream` or `unmute_stream`. These tools let your team define and enforce precise media handling protocols within their repositories.
