A video service and MCP add-on that renders videos from JSON descriptions. It includes tools for checking a video, rendering it, checking its status, and viewing usage, plus guidance for writing the JSON.

Use it to build slideshows, photo-motion videos, scene transitions, title overlays, and videos with background music from media URLs you provide.

It lets you catch invalid video descriptions and estimated credit use before starting a render. Test keys can produce watermarked drafts for previews.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

vidhook 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 2mo 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.

Contents

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill, 1 MCP server travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 78 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside plugin.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
