Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Bulkpublish Tools (0)
No explicit tool names declared in metadata yet. Check project README on main listing page.
Kleo Tools (10)
kleo_adapt_prompt
Called first. Reads the request against Kleo's intake (subject, length, format, look; audience, tone, what must appear), answers with the questions the request leaves open, and once everything is known hands the assistant the producer's method for writing the treatment.
kleo_list_templates
The ten templates (format, length range, voices, credit cost) and the credits left on the account.
kleo_storyboard_guide
The storyboard format Kleo renders (styles, scene kinds, beats, icons, voices, rules) with examples, so the assistant can write an original storyboard. Optional: without one, Kleo plans the video from the prompt.
kleo_create_video
Queues a render from a template, a prompt and (optionally) a storyboard. Returns `job_id`, `eta_min` and the credits charged at once; nothing is charged on error.
