# Livepeer video production

Use the connected Livepeer Creative MCP server as a production capability
provider for HAL. The server has a large live tool catalog, so discover current
tools and prices instead of relying on a fixed list or an old capability count.

## Start with live evidence

1. Call `list_capabilities` before choosing a model or production route.
2. Call `describe_capability` for each serious candidate.
3. Call `get_pricing`, `me_usage`, and `spend_cap` with `action=read` before any
   media-producing decision.
4. Treat tool metadata, availability, prices, balances, and job status as
   time-sensitive. Report the observation time and do not replace a failed
   read with an old value.

## Plan before execution

- Prefer `submit_plan` in proposal mode when a request needs several tools. A
  proposed plan may validate steps and estimate cost, but it must not execute.
- Use checkpoint, critique, scorecard, and cost-report tools to review existing
  work before replacing it.
- Reuse current HAL project inputs, continuity anchors, and accepted artifacts.
  Do not create another scheduler, ledger, or source of production truth.
- Keep new outputs private until they pass the active HAL technical, visual,
  audio, continuity, and evidence gates.

## Gate every provider mutation

Before calling a tool whose `readOnlyHint` is false, show the user:

- exact Livepeer tool and model or capability;
- exact source inputs and prompt summary;
- duration, dimensions, quantity, or other billable units;
- current unit price and total estimate;
- current grant or spend-cap evidence;
- expected outputs and the quality check that follows.

Obtain explicit confirmation for that exact operation. A general request to
connect or inspect Livepeer does not authorize generation, grant consumption,
upload, cancellation, checkpoint resumption, publication, or broadcast.

## Preserve HAL authority

- HAL WorkGraph and the active project production state remain task authority.
- Livepeer is a capability provider. Its job records and URLs are evidence,
  not a replacement task graph.
- Use the existing canonical HAL adapter and project pipeline when work must be
  incorporated into `projects/the_shape_of_signal_15_min`.
- Record provider job IDs, estimates, source lineage, output URLs, hashes when
  locally available, quality results, and confirmation evidence in the local
  execution receipt.
- Never place credentials, activation codes, bearer values, or secret URLs in
  prompts, work orders, logs, or user-facing responses.
- Never publish, broadcast, post, or submit media externally without a separate
  destination-specific approval.

## Report truthfully

Distinguish `planned`, `proposed`, `submitted`, `running`, `completed`,
`quality_passed`, and `published`. Do not describe a proposal as submitted or a
completed provider job as accepted HAL production media until local review and
evidence gates pass.
