Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

batch_add_to_playlist
Add tracks from multiple source URIs (tracks, albums, artists, playlists) to a target playlist in one call. Dedupes within the batch and optionally against the existing playlist. Batches writes in groups of 100. Dry-run previews without writing. Elicitation for 100+ tracks.
copy_playlist
Duplicate an existing playlist into a new playlist, preserving track order. Creates the new playlist then adds tracks in batches of 100. Dry-run reports what would be created.
create_playlistwrite action
Create a new playlist for the current user. Set dry_run=true to preview without creating.
merge_playlists
Merge multiple playlists into one. Deduplicates tracks across sources (first-seen order wins) and adds them in batches of 100. Pass target_playlist_id to append to an existing playlist (it is NOT cleared) or new_name to create a fresh playlist.
move_items_between_playlists
Bulk rehome items between playlists. Mode copy keeps the source intact; mode move removes from source after copying. Supports dedupe against target and optional name/artist filter.
update_playlistwrite action
Update a playlist's name, description, or visibility
verify_receipt
Verify that a previous mutation actually landed on Spotify by looking up its receipt
