Once VideoDB Director is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Instructions — Best practices and prompt guidelines View »name — Instructionsfor on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
You will need one environment variable: VIDEODB_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. VideoDB Director's toolset — Instructions, name — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by video-db; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
