- Category: Video

- Access: Read only
- Built by: Serain

## What it may do

Reads only. It cannot send, change or delete anything.

## Connect

OpenRouter key in the server's env `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`

Levels and descriptions live in Serain's code, never in the provider's. What the service returns counts as untrusted: it informs Serain, it never instructs it.
