Claude Real Video tools (5)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
get_framesFetch more keyframes from a video already analysed with watch_video.
get_transcriptReturn the full timestamped transcript of a video already analysed, without re-sending any frames. Use when you only need the words (quoting, searching a long talk) and the images would waste context.
list_watchedList every video crv has already watched, newest first, with how long it was and how many searchable lines it produced. Cheap way to check whether a video needs watching again before spending time on it.
search_memorySearch everything crv has ever watched — spoken words and on-screen text — and get back the video, the timestamp and the matching line. Use this instead of watch_video when the answer might already be on disk, or when the question spans several videos ("which video mentioned pricing?").
watch_videoActually watch a video: download (URL) or read (local path), extract scene-aware deduplicated keyframes and a timestamped transcript, all locally. Returns the transcript plus the first batch of keyframes as images; use get_frames for more frames from the same video.
