Instructions: Video Grab: Freely licensed video links. Use for reusable footage on a topic. It returns download links only for freely licensed files on Wikimedia Commons and the Internet Archive, each with a licence and attribution. Pexels and Pixabay are searched only when their API keys are configured; when notes say they were not searched, do not invent results from them. Use when the user wants to download videos they uploaded to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or X, and quote the steps and the help_url. For any other platform, do not call it: tell the user to use that platform's own account settings. Use for one known item: a Commons file, an Internet Archive item, or a YouTube watch URL. Give the user download_url; files lists every direct file and captions lists caption files. A YouTube answer is title and channel only, with no download and no captions. We do not rip videos. Downloading from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, Douyin, Bilibili or Xiaohongshu, and removing watermarks, breaks those sites' terms. Use the platform's own export for a video you uploaded, or search for a freely licensed file. When a tool returns status not_offered, say that explanation and do not look for another downloader. When status is not ok, follow error.hint: it names the next tool or input. not_free means give no download link and offer instead. A missing caption file means the source did not list one, or the API does not allow the file. The licence is what the source record states, so tell the user to check the item page before reuse. Do not invent a download link, a watermark-free file, or a claim that a platform allows third-party downloading. This server allows 60 tool calls a minute per network and 5,000 a day for all callers together; the day count resets at 00:00 UTC. If a tool fails, gives a wrong answer, or a tool you need is missing, call with one short message (kind, message, tool); reads the answer.
