| description | List indexed videos and available indexes. Use when user wants to know what videos they have indexed, asks "what videos do I have?", "show my videos", or needs to find a video ID for analysis. |
List Indexed Videos and Indexes
List all indexed videos or available indexes to help users discover what content is available for search and analysis.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks what videos they have ("what videos do I have?", "show my videos")
- Wants to see indexed content ("do I have any videos indexed?", "list my videos")
- Needs to find a video ID ("which videos are available?", "what can I search?")
- Asks about indexes ("show my indexes", "what indexes do I have?")
Instructions
Step 1: Determine What to List
Based on the user's request:
- Videos (default): User asks about videos, content, or what they can search/analyze
- Indexes: User specifically asks about indexes or collections
Step 2: Call the Appropriate MCP Tool
For listing videos (default):
Tool: mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__list-videos
Parameters: (none - uses default index)
To list videos from a specific index:
Tool: mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__list-videos
Parameters:
indexId: "<index-id>"
For listing indexes:
Tool: mcp__twelvelabs-mcp__list-indexes
Parameters: (none)
Step 3: Display Results
For videos (with results):
Your Indexed Videos
| Video ID | Filename |
|----------|----------|
| abc123 | demo.mp4 |
| def456 | meeting-2024-01-15.mp4 |
| ghi789 | tutorial-part1.mov |
Total: 3 videos
You can:
- Search any video: "find the part where someone mentions pricing"
- Analyze a video: "summarize video abc123" or "create chapters for the demo"
For videos (no results):
No indexed videos found.
To get started:
1. Index a video: "index this video: /path/to/video.mp4"
2. Or try a sample: "I don't have a video to test"
Once indexed, you can search and analyze your videos with natural language.
For videos (with pagination):
Your Indexed Videos (Page 1)
| Video ID | Filename |
|----------|----------|
| abc123 | demo.mp4 |
| def456 | meeting.mp4 |
... (showing 10 videos)
More videos available. Ask to see the next page.
For indexes (with results):
Your Indexes
| Index ID | Name | Models |
|----------|------|--------|
| idx_abc | default | embedding, generative |
| idx_def | archive | embedding |
Total: 2 indexes
Model types:
- embedding: Enables search functionality
- generative: Enables analysis (summaries, chapters, etc.)
For indexes (no results):
No indexes found.
A default index will be created automatically when you index your first video.
To get started: "index this video: /path/to/video.mp4"
Step 4: Offer Next Steps
After listing, suggest relevant actions:
- If videos exist: Suggest searching or analyzing
- If no videos: Guide to indexing or sample videos
- If listing indexes: Explain the model capabilities
Example Interactions
User: "What videos do I have?"
Action: Call list-videos → display table of videos with helpful tips
User: "Do I have any videos indexed?"
Action: Call list-videos → show results or guide to indexing
User: "Show me my indexes"
Action: Call list-indexes → display table with model info
User: "Which videos can I search?"
Action: Call list-videos → all listed videos are searchable
User: "I need the video ID for my demo"
Action: Call list-videos → help user find the matching video ID
Important Notes
- Default Index: Videos are listed from the default index unless specified otherwise
- Video IDs: These IDs are used for targeted search and analysis operations
- Model Types:
embedding = search capabilitygenerative = analysis capability (summaries, chapters, etc.)
- Pagination: Large lists may be paginated - offer to show more if needed
