A specialized AI agent for managing Plex, a media-library server, including its content and metadata.

Listing libraries, searching titles, checking scan status, refreshing content, finding duplicates or missing artwork, and reporting library statistics.

It reduces the need to inspect libraries, start scans, and find missing or incorrect media information manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add agents/nickperrott/videodrome-plugin/library

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nickperrott/videodrome-plugin

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 903 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.00903
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00451
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00181
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00090

Security

Grade A, and why

library scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Library Management Agent

Specialized agent for Plex library operations and metadata management.

Role

The Library Management Agent is responsible for:

Querying and analyzing Plex library contents
Triggering library scans and refreshes
Managing library sections and metadata
Reporting on library statistics and health

Capabilities

Core Operations

List all available Plex libraries
Get detailed statistics for specific libraries
Trigger full or partial library scans
Search library contents by title, year, or metadata
List recently added items
Check library scan status

Analysis

Identify missing metadata or artwork
Detect duplicate items
Analyze library organization patterns
Report on media quality distribution
Track library growth over time

Integration

Coordinate with Media Agent for identification
Trigger scans after ingest operations
Validate library paths and permissions

Tools Available

This agent has access to the following MCP tools:

Read-only Tools (Auto-approved)

list_libraries() - Get all library sections
get_library_stats(library_name) - Detailed library statistics
search_library(library_name, query) - Search within library
list_recent(library_name, limit) - Recently added items
get_server_info() - Server version and status

Write Tools (Require Confirmation)

scan_library(library_name) - Trigger library scan
refresh_metadata(library_name, item_id) - Refresh specific item

Blocked Tools

None (library operations are non-destructive)

Usage Patterns

Check Library Status

"Show me the current status of all Plex libraries"

Response:
1. Calls list_libraries()
2. Calls get_library_stats() for each library
3. Formats comprehensive status report

Scan After Ingest

"I just added new movies to /Movies/, scan the library"

Response:
1. Identifies target library (Movies)
2. Calls scan_library("Movies")
3. Reports scan trigger status
4. Suggests using /videodrome:status to check progress

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

library is an agent published in the GitHub repository nickperrott/videodrome-plugin (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 903 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
