    Why it is in this group

    • The name "analyzeImpression" says "analyze": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Deep-dive analysis of a SINGLE playback session identified by a specific impressionId: static properties, aggregated metrics, state-transition timeline, and an AI-powered interpretation of session quality. Use for detailed single-session troubleshooting. REQUIRES an impressionId. Do NOT use this for license-wide metrics, totals, trends, or any time-range ('last week', start/end) analysis — this tool does not accept start/end. For metrics over a time period use the 'query' tool; for breakdowns by category use 'queryGroupBy'.

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false
    • openWorldHint: true
  • fetchImpressionsList the impression ids (individual playback session ids) for a license over a time range, optionally narrowed by filters.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "fetchImpressions" says "fetch": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the impression ids (individual playback session ids) for a license over a time range, optionally narrowed by filters. Returns the ids themselves — NOT counts, totals, or trends. Use this to enumerate sessions before drilling into specific ones with `getImpressionOverview` or `analyzeImpression`. Typical uses: 'give me impression ids from yesterday', 'list sessions on Safari that errored last week', 'sample sessions from country US'. Every matching session is eligible (including failed/setup sessions), not only successful plays. Results are capped (default 100, max 200); if truncated, narrow the timeframe/filters or raise `limit`. A licenseKey is required, and `peekAllLicenses` lists the available ones; `searchFilters` resolves the filter attributes and operators used by the optional `filters` input. For metric counts/trends over a period use `query` / `queryTotal`; for category breakdowns use `queryGroupBy`.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "getAvailableFilters" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List the full catalog of filter attributes with their supported operators. Prefer searchFilters to resolve a single attribute; use this only when you need every filter.

    Description, as the server wrote it

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "getImpressionOverview" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Inspect a SINGLE playback session identified by a specific impressionId. Returns that one session's static properties (device, location, player) and its aggregated metrics (total played time, buffering, video quality). REQUIRES an impressionId. Do NOT use this for license-wide metrics, totals, trends, or any time-range ('last week', start/end) analysis — this tool does not accept start/end. For metrics over a time period use the 'query' tool; for breakdowns by category use 'queryGroupBy'.

  • peekAllLicensesView a summary of all available licenses with their recent play counts and percentage distribution.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "view": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    View a summary of all available licenses with their recent play counts and percentage distribution. Use this to understand what licenses exist and their relative usage. When a user asks about licenses by ranking (e.g., 'biggest', 'most active', 'first'), use this to identify which license matches that criteria before querying.

  • queryQuery a metric over a time range (start/end) for a license as a TIME SERIES — always renders a chart.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "query" says "query": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Query a metric over a time range (start/end) for a license as a TIME SERIES — always renders a chart. Use this for trends and license-wide analytics over a period (e.g. 'last week', 'last 30 days', 'yesterday'). Bucket size is chosen automatically from start/end; there is no interval field to set. For a single aggregated number (one total/average over the whole period, NO chart), use the separate `queryTotal` tool instead. Queries resolve against API metric keywords, which can differ from a metric's common name — 'plays', for example, is 'impression_id'. The 'searchMetrics' tool resolves a keyword cheaply; 'getAvailableMetrics' returns the full catalog. Every query needs a licenseKey; `peekAllLicenses` lists the ones available. AD ANALYTICS: ad metrics use 'ad_'-prefixed keywords and are queried against a separate ads dataset. The ad completion funnel is: 'ad_quartile_1' (first quartile / 25%) -> 'ad_midpoint' (50%) -> 'ad_quartile_3' (third quartile / 75%) -> 'ad_completions'. Other ad metrics: 'ad_impressions', 'ad_starts', 'ad_clicks', 'ad_skips', 'ad_startup_time', 'ad_error_percentage', 'ad_error_sessions', 'ad_time_played', 'ad_play_percentage', 'ad_unique_users'. Ad data is present on some licenses and not others; `peekAllLicenses` output shows which. A query covers a single license, so an ad question resolves against one license at a time. With an ad metric, filters and groupBy take the AD-specific attributes from 'searchFilters' / 'getAvailableFilters' (e.g. 'AD_SYSTEM', 'AD_POSITION', 'ADVERTISER_NAME'); playback attributes and ad attributes are not interchangeable. OPTIONAL 3) Use the 'searchFilters' tool to find filter attributes/operators (or 'getAvailableFilters' for the full list).

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "queryGroupBy" says "query": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    query metric grouped by categories. Queries resolve against API metric keywords, which can differ from a metric's common name — 'plays', for example, is 'impression_id'. The 'searchMetrics' tool resolves a keyword cheaply; 'getAvailableMetrics' returns the full catalog. Every query needs a licenseKey; `peekAllLicenses` lists the ones available. AD ANALYTICS: ad metrics use 'ad_'-prefixed keywords and are queried against a separate ads dataset. The ad completion funnel is: 'ad_quartile_1' (first quartile / 25%) -> 'ad_midpoint' (50%) -> 'ad_quartile_3' (third quartile / 75%) -> 'ad_completions'. Other ad metrics: 'ad_impressions', 'ad_starts', 'ad_clicks', 'ad_skips', 'ad_startup_time', 'ad_error_percentage', 'ad_error_sessions', 'ad_time_played', 'ad_play_percentage', 'ad_unique_users'. Ad data is present on some licenses and not others; `peekAllLicenses` output shows which. A query covers a single license, so an ad question resolves against one license at a time. With an ad metric, filters and groupBy take the AD-specific attributes from 'searchFilters' / 'getAvailableFilters' (e.g. 'AD_SYSTEM', 'AD_POSITION', 'ADVERTISER_NAME'); playback attributes and ad attributes are not interchangeable. The groupBy attribute is an exact API attribute name, and common guesses are often wrong: 'OPERATING_SYSTEM' is invalid where 'OPERATINGSYSTEM' is correct, and an unrecognised attribute fails with a validation error. The 'searchFilters' tool resolves an attribute name; 'getAvailableFilters' returns the full catalog. Results grouped by ERROR_CODE carry occurrence counts but not error semantics, which are Bitmovin-specific and documented in the live Bitmovin documentation served by the docs MCP tool (typically `general_docs_ask_bitmovin_docs`). That tool resolves one numeric error code per call and returns nothing usable for a question naming several codes at once.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "queryTotal" says "query": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Get an aggregated value (one number) for a metric over a time range — no chart, no time bucketing. Can fetch SEVERAL metrics in one call: pass an array to `metric` to get one value per metric (e.g. the ad completion funnel), instead of calling this tool repeatedly. Use ONLY when the user asks for totals/averages/median/p95 over a whole period (e.g. 'total plays last month', 'average startup time yesterday', 'p95 rebuffer last week', 'the ad funnel counts last week'). For trends or any 'how did X change over time' / 'show last week' question, use the `query` tool instead — it always renders a chart. Queries resolve against API metric keywords, which can differ from a metric's common name — 'plays', for example, is 'impression_id'.

    Description, as the server wrote it
