AI Agents for Content Creation
OpusClip exposes 27 workflow tools to agent hosts. Thirteen are read-only and run with no approval prompt. Fourteen write, and each one asks before it fires.
Tool calls spend credits from your workspace, capped at 900 credits a month on Pro Beta and Max, so an agent cannot quietly run up a bill.
Why most agent demos stop at a draft
Tools, not suggestions
An agent with the right tools does not describe the clip it would make. It submits the project, edits the captions, exports the HD file and queues the post.
Read and write are separated
Listing projects, reading transcripts and inspecting clips changes nothing and prompts for nothing. Anything that spends credits or publishes is a write tool with its own approval.
A cap built for agent loops
At 900 credits the API returns 403 rather than 429, specifically so agent frameworks do not retry in a loop. Access resumes on the first day of the next month, UTC.
Let the agent see before it acts
opusclip_analyze_video reports what is on screen across a time range: faces and people with their positions, screen regions, document layout, and whether the person on camera is the one speaking.
It changes nothing and spends no credits, so an agent can look before it edits.

Track spend as it happens
opusclip_get_usage reports the workspace's current API usage against its cap, and opusclip_whoami confirms which organization the agent is connected to.
Both are read-only, so you can ask at any point in a run.

Keep humans on the irreversible steps
Write tools prompt per call, and the posting and scheduling tools can be configured to hand back a link you confirm in OpusClip instead of committing.
Approve the clip, not the whole agent.

How to put an agent to work
Connect the workspace
Point your host at the hosted server and complete the OAuth sign-in. Any OpusClip account can connect and view the catalog; calling a tool needs Pro Beta, Max or Business access.
Start with read tools
Ask the agent to list recent projects, describe a clip or pull a transcript. These run without prompts and cost nothing, which makes them a safe first lap.
Hand over one write step
Submit a project from a URL, or apply a named edit to a clip. Each call asks first, and removal operations keep video, captions and audio in sync.
Review, then distribute
Export the HD download, generate platform copy, and post or schedule to a connected account once you are happy with the cut.

What people are saying
"The ease of Opusclip is great. I'm a marketer, not a video editor. But OpusClip makes it so easy to look like I know what I'm doing!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What can an AI agent actually do to a video?
With OpusClip connected it can clip a source URL, edit captions, remove filler words and pauses, trim, split, reorder and dub sections, export the HD file, and post or schedule it. The rendering happens in OpusClip, not in the model.
Will an agent post to my accounts without asking?
No. Posting, scheduling, unscheduling and sharing are write tools that prompt per call, and on the listed connector surface they return a link for you to confirm in OpusClip rather than committing.
What happens when the agent runs out of credits?
At 900 credits in a calendar month the API returns 403 with code API_MONTHLY_CAP_REACHED, chosen over 429 so agent frameworks stop instead of retrying. The web app keeps working while the API is capped.
Which plans allow tool calls?
Pro Beta, Max and Business. Any account can complete the OAuth sign-in and view the tool catalog, but calling a tool without API access returns an upgrade prompt.
