Tools of Instavar Video Templates and Studio
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`create_video_brief`Create a private hosted video and start rendering after the user confirms the complete brief and plan usage. Requires account linking. Automatic supplemental footage defaults to off; set automaticBroll to auto only if the user explicitly requests it. Preserve visual exclusions in scenes[].generationContract.prohibitedChanges, separately from the visible copy. Use real source media or explicitly accepted generated visuals for demonstrations; never silently replace requested footage with text. Plan distinct shots for a story, with each generated motion shot at most 15 seconds. For silent videos set narrationMode off and supply explicit scenes; omit script and any unsupplied caption. publishTarget is an optional layout hint, not a publish action; preserve the accepted aspectRatio. Put exact spoken words in script for narration, never filmmaking directions. Supplied originals must be uploaded and bound; do not replace missing branded media with stock. This is the hosted brief contract, not VideoSpec or paired-announcement source. Preserve requestId when retrying the same request, including after a timeout; use a new UUID for changed content. Returns a queued job, not a finished video. Does not publish.	Create a private hosted video and start rendering after the user confirms the complete brief and plan usage. Requires account linking.
