- 1. Ask the agent to check `get_account` to verify the connected account. If it
50
- reports `AUTH_REQUIRED`, run `captionbolt-mcp login` and retry.
51
- 2. Call `upload_file` with the user's absolute path and a stable idempotency key.
52
- It returns a `transferId` immediately. Do not send file bytes to the LLM.
53
- The client reads duration from the selected file before reserving minutes;
54
- no local FFmpeg installation or manually supplied duration is required.
55
- 3. Poll `get_upload_progress`. Once uploaded, call `create_project` with the
56
- server upload ID as `uploadSessionId`, mode `review` (default) or `auto-export`.
57
- 4. Poll `get_operation` for command admission, then `get_project` for processing.
58
- Open its `editorUrl` to review and save captions in the main site.
59
- 5. Use `export_project` for the saved document; poll and fetch `get_result` for
60
- short-lived download links. A completed command is not a completed video.

61
+ 2. While it uploads, ask one style question unless the user already chose:
62
+ offer the `list_styles` items marked `recommended` and any `list_presets`
63
+ entries. A number, a described look or "you decide" (first recommended style)
64
+ all answer it. Do not list the whole catalog.
65
+ 3. Poll `get_upload_progress`. Once uploaded, call `create_project` with its
66
+ `uploadId` as `uploadSessionId`, the chosen `styleId` or `presetId`, and mode
67
+ `auto-export`. The API default `review` stops at `ready` for the Editor; use it
68
+ when the user wants to check captions first or needs subtitle files, then call
69
+ `export_project` with `outputFormats`. Auto-export renders MP4 only.
70
+ 4. Commands return an operation: poll `get_operation` until it completes (its
71
+ `resourceId` is the projectId), then call `wait_for_project`, which waits up to
72
+ 25 seconds per call while the project is processing or exporting. A completed
73
+ command is not a completed video.
74
+ 5. Call `download_result` (MP4 by default) and poll `get_download_progress`.
75
+ Report the saved path and the project's `editorUrl`. Editing a completed
76
+ project creates an editable copy in the Editor, exported from the website.

+ If a tool reports `AUTH_REQUIRED`, run the pinned `login` command and retry.
