Tools

ToolDescription
extract_mediaExtract metadata and available formats from a TikTok / Instagram / YouTube / Douyin URL. Returns an ssv_ token (expires in 5–15 min) plus per-format download URLs.
download_mediaStream the extracted media to local disk (default ~/Downloads/ssave/, override with output_dir). Returns the absolute path and size.
get_thumbnailSave the media thumbnail to local disk (proxied — never exposes the source CDN link).

Typical flow: extract_media(url) → take the returned id → download_media(id, type: "hd" | "watermark" | "mp3").
