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

index 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 9d 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.

Index Videos for AI Analysis

Index local video files or remote URLs for AI search and analysis using TwelveLabs. Once indexed, videos can be searched with natural language and analyzed to generate summaries, chapters, highlights, and more.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • Explicitly asks to index a video ("index this video", "add this video")
  • Wants to enable AI search on a video ("I want to search this video")
  • Mentions a video file/URL they want to work with ("process this video file")
  • Provides a video path or URL in context of wanting to analyze it

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the Video Source

Extract the video path or URL from the user's message:

  • Local file path: /path/to/video.mp4, ./video.mp4, ~/Videos/demo.mov
  • Remote URL: https://example.com/video.mp4
  • Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view

If no path/URL is provided, ask the user:

Please provide the video file path or URL you'd like to index.

Examples:
- Local file: /path/to/video.mp4 or ./video.mp4
- Remote URL: https://example.com/video.mp4
- Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view

Step 2: Validate the Input

For Local Files:

  1. Resolve relative paths to absolute paths
  2. Verify the file exists
  3. Check file extension is supported: .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm

Validation errors:

  • File not found: "Video file not found at: <path>. Please check the path and try again."
  • Unsupported format: "Unsupported video format: <extension>. Supported formats: mp4, mov, avi, mkv, webm"

For URLs:

  1. Verify URL starts with http:// or https://
  2. Note if it's a Google Drive link (special handling)

Step 3: Start Video Indexing

Use the mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__start-video-indexing-task tool:

For Local Files:

Tool: mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__start-video-indexing-task
Parameters:
  videoFilePath: "<absolute-path-to-video>"

For URLs (including Google Drive):

Tool: mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__start-video-indexing-task
Parameters:
  videoUrl: "<url>"

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.
