## Tools available

**30** tools available. First 12:

- `AMARA_ADD_SUBTITLE_NOTE` — Add Subtitle Note — Adds a note/comment to a specific subtitle language for a video. Notes are used for collaboration and providing feedback on subtitles during the editing process. Requires a valid video ID and language code. Use this tool to document issues, provide suggestions, or communicate with other subtitle editors.
- `AMARA_ADD_VIDEO_URL` — Add Video URL — Tool to add a new URL to a video, allowing association with multiple video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Use when you need to add alternative URLs for the same video content on different platforms.
- `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE` — Create Subtitle Language — Creates a new subtitle language track for an Amara video. This is the first step before adding or uploading subtitles - you must create the language track before you can add subtitle content. Each video can have multiple subtitle languages, but you cannot create the same language twice for the same video. Use list_subtitle_languages to check existing languages before creating a new one.
- `AMARA_CREATE_SUBTITLES` — Create Subtitles — Tool to create new subtitles for a video in a specific language. Accepts subtitle data in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, DFXP, etc.) either as a string or via URL. The subtitle language must already exist for the video - use create_subtitle_language first if needed. Use when you need to add subtitle content to a video.
- `AMARA_CREATE_VIDEO` — Create Video — Tool to add a new video to Amara. Use when you need to create a video entry from a URL. Supports URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or direct video file URLs.
- `AMARA_DELETE_VIDEO_URL` — Delete Video URL — Tool to remove a video URL from a video. Use when you need to delete an unwanted or incorrect URL from a video's list of URLs. The video must have at least one other URL remaining.
- `AMARA_FETCH_SUBTITLES_DATA` — Fetch Subtitles Data — Fetch subtitle data for a video in a specific language. Returns a list of subtitle segments with start/end timestamps and text content. Use this after obtaining a video ID (from List Videos) and confirming available language codes (from List Subtitle Languages).
- `AMARA_GET_ACTIVITY` — Get Activity — Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific activity by its ID. Use when you need to fetch metadata for a particular activity event.
- `AMARA_GET_SUBTITLE_LANGUAGE_DETAILS` — Get Subtitle Language Details — Tool to retrieve details for a single subtitle language. Use when you have video ID and language code and need metadata about that language track.
- `AMARA_GET_TEAM_DETAILS` — Get Team Details — Tool to get details on a specific team by slug. Use when you need metadata for a single team.
- `AMARA_GET_TEAM_LANGUAGES` — Get Team Languages — Tool to get language preferences for a specific team by slug. Use when you need to retrieve preferred and blacklisted languages for a team.
- `AMARA_GET_USER_ACTIVITY` — Get User Activity — Tool to retrieve activity log for a specific user on Amara. Use when you need to view a user's recent actions such as video additions, subtitle edits, or comments. Returns a paginated list of activity items with details about what actions the user performed, on which videos, and in which languages.

## How agents use Amara

Inside a Definable workflow, Amara is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Amara** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Amara (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Amara** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Amara (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Amara** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Amara (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Amara call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
