Speech Detect Language

Use the audio_transcribe tool with action: "detect-language" when the user asks what language is spoken in an audio clip or when a later transcription workflow needs a routing decision.

The tool comes from the media-tools plugin. If it is not in your tool list, tell the user to enable it with hybridclaw plugin install media-tools.

Pass audio as a current attachment filename/ref, /workspace path, /discord-media-cache path, /uploaded-media-cache path, or HTTPS media URL. Use provider: "auto" unless the user requests a specific provider.

Return the detected language, provider, duration, cost, and any warnings. Do not present the full transcript unless the user asked for transcription.
