In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select among Zoom APIs, webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Zoom MCP, Phone, Contact Center, or a hybrid design.

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

choose-zoom-approach 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 10d 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

Choose Zoom Approach

Pick the smallest correct Zoom surface for the job, then layer in only the supporting pieces that are actually required.

Decision Framework

Problem Type Primary Zoom Surface
Deterministic backend automation, account management, reporting, scheduled jobs rest-api
Event delivery to your backend webhooks or websockets
Embed Zoom meetings into your app meeting-sdk
Build a fully custom video experience video-sdk
Build inside the Zoom client zoom-apps-sdk
AI-agent tool workflows over Zoom data zoom-mcp
Real-time media extraction or meeting bots rtms plus meeting-sdk when needed
Phone workflows phone
Contact Center or Virtual Agent flows contact-center or virtual-agent

Guardrails

  • Do not recommend Video SDK when the user actually needs Zoom meeting semantics.
  • Do not recommend Meeting SDK when the user needs a fully custom session product.
  • Do not replace deterministic backend automation with MCP-only guidance.
  • Prefer hybrid rest-api + zoom-mcp when the user needs both stable system actions and AI-driven discovery.

What To Produce

  • One recommended path
  • Minimum supporting components
  • Hard constraints and tradeoffs
  • Immediate next implementation step
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.
