katto-mcp: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

katto-mcp GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from miracleweasel/katto-mcp. It costs 423 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for Katto, a hosted video service that turns long videos into short vertical clips. It selects moments, adds captions, scores the clips, and provides video and subtitle files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make short clips from YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Zoom, cloud-storage links, or uploaded video files, then adjust their timing, layout, captions, or titles.
Why use it?
It removes the need to watch a long recording and manually find, crop, caption, and rank short clips. It also explains how to submit videos, check job progress, and revise results.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

katto-mcp GEMINI.md 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 17d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Katto (video clipping MCP server)

Katto turns a long video into scored, captioned 9:16 short clips in its cloud. Nothing renders locally.

First run

The server is hosted at https://mcp.katto.tech/mcp and uses OAuth. If tool calls fail with an auth error, tell the user to run /mcp auth katto and sign in to their Katto account in the browser. tools/list works before sign-in.

Core flow

  1. katto_create_clip_job({ url }) with a YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Vimeo, Zoom, Google Drive, Dropbox, Loom… link, or katto_upload_video first for a local file. This spends 1 video of the user's monthly quota (2 on Free, 10 on Solo, 25 on Creator), so confirm before starting several jobs, and pass idempotency_key if you might retry.
  2. Poll katto_get_job({ id }) every 30–60 s until status is completed (a long video takes several minutes).
  3. katto_get_clips({ id }) returns the MP4 + SRT urls, titles and a 0–100 score per clip. Present the best-scored ones first.

Follow-ups that don't spend a video

katto_more_clips, katto_create_clip (any time range), katto_rerender_clip (layout / caption style), katto_adjust_clip (trim / extend), katto_retitle_clip (AI titles have a monthly allowance), katto_translate_captions and katto_dub_clip (Creator plan). Check remaining quota with katto_get_usage.

Publishing

katto_publish_clip posts to the social accounts the user connected in Katto. Always get the user's explicit go-ahead first (which clip, which platform, the caption).

Changes

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.
