Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Forge MCP Tools (2)

embed

Generate vector embeddings for one or more texts with Forge (Voxell's hosted embedding API). Use it to turn text into vectors for semantic search, RAG, clustering, or similarity. Set input_type='query' for search queries and 'document' for content you index. Choose model by quality/cost: turbo (1024d, fast, default) -> pro (2560d) -> ultra (4096d, #4 on MTEB English, top usable). Optionally set dim to truncate (Matryoshka, re-normalized).

list_models

List the available Forge embedding models and their dimensions. Call this to pick a model before embedding.

GlianaAI Tools (7)

list_models

Every model: id, category, provider, per-call price.

get_price

Exact cost of one call (input affects it — video duration, TTS length).

get_schema
