Tools

• ack_lighting_cue ~202 tokens
  REACT/BAE acknowledgement for a launch_id. Idempotently records whether the executor accepted or rejected the cue and which executor observed it.
• cancel_compel ~137 tokens
  Cancel an in-progress compel. Dequeues it if still queued, otherwise cancels any active external (AI provider) tasks and transitions it to CANCELLED. Idempotent - cancelling an already-CANCELLED compel succeeds. Use to stop a mis-prompted or runaway job before it consumes more render minutes.
• create_compel ~460 tokens
  Create a Compeller generation job from primary audio media and optional reference media. Returns compel id, status, and links to track progress and retrieve renderings.
• create_compel_from_music ~438 tokens
  Create a compel from a selected Deezer preview track. If the user provides an audio file instead, upload that file and use create_compel.
• delete_webhook Deletes data · ~89 tokens
  Delete a webhook endpoint by id. Removes the registration and stops future deliveries.
• get_account_credits ~102 tokens
  Get the authenticated account's render-minute balance and plan: minutes remaining (free + paid), monthly allowance, plan code, and whether the quota is exceeded. Call before starting an expensive render so an agent can make cost-aware decisions.
• get_capabilities ~52 tokens
  Get Compeller platform capabilities, supported features, and API version.
• get_compel ~74 tokens
  Get the current status, progress, and details of a Compeller generation job.
• get_lighting_cue ~100 tokens
  Fetch a single live lighting cue by its launch_id, including resolved variables, launch_contract, and REACT feedback.
• get_pricing ~45 tokens
  Get current Compeller subscription plans and pricing.
• get_rendering ~68 tokens
  Get details of a specific video rendering.
• launch_lighting_cue ~340 tokens
  Launch a starter lighting effect onto a stage as a live cue (e.g. "gobo-cycle on the stage's 7R beams at speed 0.5"). Pass effect_id (from list_lighting_effects) and optional variables to override effect defaults. Validation is loud: an unknown effect, a launch_contract whose bindings a stage cannot
• list_compels ~95 tokens
  List all Compeller generation jobs for the authenticated account, newest first.
• list_lighting_cues ~119 tokens
  List the live (non-stopped) lighting cues REACT is executing, including each cue's launch_id, resolved variables, launch_contract, and feedback. Optionally scope to one stage.
• list_lighting_effects ~108 tokens
  List the COM-497 starter lighting effects available to launch as cues (e.g. "gobo-cycle", "x-move", "dimmer-pulse"). Each effect carries an id, the capabilities it needs, and a launch_contract template. Use the returned id as effect_id for launch_lighting_cue.
• list_renderings ~71 tokens
  List all video renderings for a specific compel.
• list_styles ~47 tokens
  List available visual styles for Compeller video generation.
• list_webhooks ~61 tokens
  List all webhook endpoints registered for the authenticated account. Secrets are never returned by this tool.
• register_webhook ~288 tokens
  Register an HTTPS endpoint to receive signed push notifications for compel lifecycle events (compel.ready when renderable, compel.completed, compel.failed). Returns webhook_id and the HMAC-SHA256 signing secret exactly once - store the secret immediately, it is never returned again. Deliveries are s
• report_lighting_cue ~201 tokens
  REACT/BAE report-back for cue status, active variables, skipped bindings, capability misses, last_frame_at, and errors.
• rotate_webhook_secret ~136 tokens
  Mint a new HMAC-SHA256 signing secret for a registered webhook endpoint. The previous secret is invalidated immediately - integrators must update their receiver before the next compel terminal event fires. Returns the new secret exactly once; store it on receipt.
• search_compels ~100 tokens
  Search Compeller generation jobs by title for the authenticated account.
• search_media ~118 tokens
  Search and list uploaded media files for the authenticated account.
• search_music ~115 tokens
  Search Deezer preview tracks by song, artist, or album. Use this when the user provides a song string but no MP3/WAV/FLAC file.
• set_lighting_cue_variables ~144 tokens
  Update variables on a live cue (e.g. change cycle speed or intensity mid-show). Only the variables you pass change; the rest keep their current values. Stopped cues are rejected.
• start_render ~91 tokens
  Start rendering a READY compel with default configuration so an agent can continue to final MP4 without opening the browser UI.
• stop_lighting_cue ~90 tokens
  Stop a live cue by its launch_id. Idempotent - the cue is marked stop-requested so REACT drops it on its next refresh.
• test_webhook_delivery ~205 tokens
  Synchronously POST a synthetic webhook.test event to a registered endpoint. Uses the same HMAC-SHA256 signature as real deliveries, runs the standard URL safety check at delivery time, and returns {webhook_id, event_id, event_type, delivered, response_status, response_body_preview, latency_ms, error
• update_webhook ~262 tokens
  Update one or more mutable fields on a registered webhook endpoint: url, events, active. At least one of these must be provided. Validation mirrors register_webhook (https-only, <= 2048 chars, URL safety blocklist). Returns the updated endpoint (secret is never returned by this tool - use rotate_web
• upload_media ~132 tokens
  Get upload instructions for media files (audio, images, video). Returns the upload URL and required headers. Requires API token authentication.
