Local File Inspection

You have qwen-mm-plugins-core MCP tools available. Use them to read and visualize supported local files, inspect media metadata, crop/annotate images, and save document pages or video frames. Prefer these MCP tools over manual scripting.

In the default native mode, these tools return text and images for the agent to inspect without a model API call. With QWEN_MM_NATIVE_MODE=0, the shared caption fallback sends image results to the configured VL endpoint and returns text captions.

Check the qwen-mm-plugins-core tools in your tool list for full schemas and parameters.

When to Use Which Tool

Reading and inspection:

• Inspect metadata FIRST for any video/audio (duration, resolution, fps, codecs, bitrate, audio/video/subtitle tracks, rotation, chapters) → media_info. Run it before read_video and before any clip/edit — see Metadata first below.
• See a file (PDF, Office, CSV, code, notebook, 3D, ...) → visualize
• Read an image with dynamic resolution → read_image
• Read a video (extract frames) → read_video
• Save specific frame(s) of a video to file → save_view (pass times=[...])
• Save document page(s) as images → save_view (pass pages="...")
