Can I check how many people finished watching a specific video?

Yes. The `get_engagement_statistics` tool provides the average percent watched and other deep engagement metrics for any video, allowing you to analyze audience retention through chat.

How do I upload a video to Wistia if I only have a direct URL?

You can use the `upload_video_via_url` tool. Simply provide the source URL and the target project ID, and Wistia will handle the ingestion and hosting of that video for you.

Is it possible to see the direct download link for my video files?

Absolutely. Using the `get_media_details` tool, your agent can retrieve full technical properties, including the direct URLs for original files and transcoded versions hosted on Wistia's CDN.
