Outputs and behavior

Start studying a video (URL or local file path). Returns a slug immediately and measures in the background (typically 1-5 minutes): shot boundaries, word-timed transcript, caption OCR, audio layout. Poll zing_status() for phase, then get_breakdown(slug). Optional kept_media: path to a locally kept copy of the URL's media (e.g. a uoink keep_media file); studies from it with zero network fetch when it checks out; falls back to fetching with the reason named in warnings.

The tool description documents its results and behavior. An exact output schema is not supplied; fields not described here are unknown.

What touches the network

From this tool's description:

Start studying a video (URL or local file path).

Optional kept_media: path to a locally kept copy of the URL's media (e.g. a uoink keep_media file); studies from it with zero network fetch when it checks out; falls back to fetching with the reason named in warnings.

Network behavior beyond these details is not specified in the tool description.

Zing's network policy

Studying, rendering and memes run locally by default. Reference URL downloads require explicit consent. Requested model and font downloads are pinned by URL and SHA-256, cached locally and reported. Uoink is reached only through a peer you configure on your machine. Zing has no telemetry or analytics.

Source

Generated from the site's synced MCP inventory on every build. Descriptions and input schemas refer to this pinned source snapshot.
