Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| govtube_get_coverage | Totals for the whole index: items and hours by source, date range, last update, items awaiting review and known gaps. Cite this with any count. For the list of sessions use govtube_list_sessions. | Read-only |
| govtube_get_transcript_window | Return speaker turns overlapping [start_ms, end_ms] with their text, for checking context. Not available for official transcripts without timing (timing_granularity "document"): read those at the result's document_url, or resolve the citation for the surrounding turns. | Read-only |
| govtube_get_video | Metadata, speakers, playback asset and the rights and use restrictions of the video's source. | Read-only |
| govtube_list_sessions | The indexed sessions (videos and official transcripts), newest first, one page at a time: title, date, source, length, words, whether it plays, and how many speakers are confirmed. | Read-only |
| govtube_list_video_instances | Page through one video's matches by passage, in time order. A passage is a run of instances whose excerpts overlap, shown as one quote. `offset` and `limit` count passages; `next_offset` is null on the last page. `passage_count` and `instance_count` cover the whole video. With detail="full", `instances` also lists every instance of the page one by one. | Read-only |
| govtube_resolve_citation | Check that a cited instance still says the quoted words after corrections, and return its context. The result has a share_url to link. gd2./gd1. ids cite words in an official transcript: the result has positions instead of times, citation_text to paste, document_highlight_url, and `certifies` saying what is (and is not) certified. | Read-only |
| govtube_search_instances | Find spoken instances of words or a phrase across official videos and White House transcripts. Returns one small page: counts for the whole result, then up to 5 videos (newest first, or most instances first with sort="most_instances"), each with up to 3 passages (quotes; overlapping instances merged), each passage listing its instances with citation id and share_url. `notes` and `more_passages` say what else there is: use `next_cursor` for more videos, govtube_list_video_instances for the rest of one video, and detail="full" for larger pages. White House transcripts have no timing (`timing_granularity` "document", null times, a `position` and a `document_url`). | Read-only |
