Sonilo Video Analysis

Hand Sonilo a video and it returns a creative brief for its sound. By default (mode="both") that is two briefs in one result: a music-direction brief — a time-aligned segments plan (what each stretch of footage wants) plus one or more variations, each a single ready-to-use generation prompt — and a sound-design brief — shot-sized sfx_segments plus one whole-clip sfx_prompt. mode="music" or mode="sfx" returns just one of the two, at the same price.

This skill generates nothing. No audio, no video, no file. Its whole output is text, and the text is the input to the next call.

Setup: See the setup-api-key skill to connect the Sonilo MCP server and authenticate — sonilo login (no key) or SONILO_API_KEY.

⚠️ Cost: this is a paid call, even though nothing is generated. Billing has a 10-second floor and variants_num is billed per brief, so 3 variations cost 3×. Only call it when the user has actually asked. Check get_account_services (see the account skill) if you're unsure whether free-trial runs remain.
