What soften_video does on Bannerbear Mcp Cli
AI agents call soften_video to retrieve information from Bannerbear Mcp Cli without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
account | string | — | Exact private workspace profile label; no fallback to another profile key. |
confirm | boolean | — | Set true only when the user asked for exactly this action. |
payload | object | — | Complete current native JSON body. Use payload or payload_file exclusively. |
payload_file | string | — | Regular non-symlink local JSON file, at most 1 MiB. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
