| name | Agent-Media UGC Video |
| description | The ONE tool for UGC video. Give a `script` (any length) and optionally a `person` description, an `image` (photo), or a `character` (saved char_… or sheet URL); it returns the finished vertical video. Short script → one clip; long monologue → full multi-take (never trimmed); pass `broll_url` → narrated b-roll overlay. Captions are OPT-IN — ASK the user if they want them (and which style) before generating; set `captions:true` only if they say yes. You never pick a sub-tool. |

Agent-Media UGC Video
One tool. One call. A finished, captioned, vertical UGC video.
You give a script and (optionally) who says it — agent-media picks the pipeline, the take count, and the duration for you. You NEVER pick a sub-tool:
- Short line → one clean talking-head clip.
- Full monologue (any length) → a seamless multi-take video, never trimmed to fit a clip.
broll_url → the person narrates over your b-roll / gameplay / product footage.
Inputs
What they say — exactly one of:
script — the spoken line, any length. A sentence becomes one clip; a paragraph becomes the full multi-take video. Never trimmed.scene_action — a silent clip instead (dancing, b-roll, vibes). Requires a character.
Who says it — optional, pass at most one (omit → a default person is generated):
person — describe them in words, e.g. "a 25-year-old woman with curly red hair".image — a photo of the person: a public https URL or base64. The face is locked to it.character — reuse a saved character: its char_… id (from list_characters) or its character_sheet_url.name — optional name/age/vibe hint, e.g. "Sophia, 28".
A long monologue or a broll_url review needs a real face — pass image or character, not just person.
Captions are OPT-IN — do NOT add them on your own. First ASK the user whether they want captions and which caption_style (hormozi | tiktok | minimal); set captions:true only if they say yes, otherwise leave it off.
Look & format — all optional:
captions — off unless set true (ask first, above); caption_style (hormozi | tiktok | minimal)look (natural | commercial | raw_iphone), aspect_ratio (9:16 | 1:1)broll_url — an https video overlaid on the lower half while they narrate.duration — leave blank; length is inferred from the script. Set only to force a short clip.
Examples
A quick clip from a text description:
{ "script": "Honestly? This app saved my whole morning routine.", "person": "a friendly young woman, soft daylight" }
A full monologue from a saved character — multi-take, never trimmed:
{ "script": "Okay I have to be honest with you for a second. Three months ago I was completely overwhelmed … (the entire monologue, as long as you like) … and that is your sign.", "character": "char_8f3ac210" }
From a photo of a real person:
{ "script": "Wait — you have to see what this actually does.", "image": "https://example.com/face.jpg", "name": "Maya, 27" }
A narrated b-roll / gameplay review:
{ "script": "Watch this play — this is where the whole match turns around.", "broll_url": "https://example.com/clip.mp4", "character": "char_8f3ac210" }
Reuse the same person across a session
After a video finishes, the character is saved — GET /v1/characters lists it with a character_id (char_…) and a character_sheet_url. For the NEXT video in the same task, pass that as character instead of a new person: it keeps the exact same face, and it's faster + cheaper because it reuses the existing portrait + character sheet rather than re-making them (the character sheet is never skipped — it's reused). Only generate a NEW person when the user asks for a different one. If you're not sure whether they want the same person or a new one, ASK the user before generating.

Preferred path: MCP tool mcp__agent-media__make_ugc. The full schema is auto-published via tools/list; the fields above are the manual.
Fallback path: REST.
POST https://api.agent-media.ai/v1/skills/make_ugc/run
Authorization: Bearer $AGENT_MEDIA_API_KEY

Idempotency-Key: <any unique string per intent>
{ "script": "Okay this completely changed how I work — I plan my whole week in ten minutes now.", "character": "char_8f3ac210" }
Cost & timing
- Credits:
route-dependent: ~190–505 for a short clip; priced per-take for a long monologue or b-roll review
- Wall time (typical):
360–1400s
- Deducted as each take runs.
Polling the result
GET https://api.agent-media.ai/v1/skills/runs/<skill_run_id>
Authorization: Bearer $AGENT_MEDIA_API_KEY
Returns per-step status + current_step; final_output.video_url is your finished MP4 when status is succeeded.
Keep the user posted — don't go silent. A video takes a few minutes: a new person runs portrait → character sheet → the video (→ captions if asked); reusing a saved person skips straight to the video. When you submit, tell the user the plan + a rough ETA, then poll and report each current_step as it changes (e.g. "building the character sheet…", "rendering the video…", "adding captions…") so they always know what's happening.
