name: vidxp-ingest-video description: Use VidXP to upload, import, register, and automatically index video files through its MCP tools. Trigger for requests to add, upload, ingest, import, register, or index one or more videos, including attached videos and accessible local paths, even when the user does not name VidXP. Do not trigger for editing, transcoding, or searching a video that is already indexed. metadata: version: "1.0.0"

Ingest video with VidXP

Workflow

1. Resolve the vidxp MCP tools and call get_workspace. Do not import a video

that is already registered or indexed.

1. Choose indexable capabilities from the workspace. Use speech and scene

for ordinary content retrieval. Add action when the request depends on actions or events spanning multiple frames. Add actor only when anonymous recurring-face clusters are wanted; it does not identify people by name.

1. Call get_runtime_readiness. If selected models are missing, submit

prepare_models, use wait_job with its observation token for subsequent bounded waits, then fetch get_job once when terminal.

1. Use ingest_local_media for one to ten paths accessible to VidXP; otherwise

use create_media_upload and give the returned link to the user. Keep index_after_import enabled unless registration-only behavior was requested.

1. Poll the returned ingestion or upload ID with get_media_ingestion or

get_media_upload. Honor its poll interval, reuse the same identifiers, and do not resubmit unchanged work.

1. Stop at a terminal state and report each file's state, media ID, index job,

and searchable snapshot or generation. If indexing fails after registration, retry with start_indexing; do not upload the file again.

1. If the request also asks about the video, continue directly into the VidXP

evidence workflow once it is searchable.

Long operations

• Tell the user that model preparation and indexing can take several minutes.
• Update when the stage changes or about once per minute; do not narrate every

status check or invent an ETA.

• Treat files independently so one failure does not hide successful siblings.
