Actions
What your agents can do in Descript
Find Descript projects, import video or audio from a URL (transcribed automatically), edit with Underlord by plain-language prompts (remove filler words, Studio Sound, captions, clips), publish to a share link, export transcripts and follow jobs, in one Descript Drive, with an API token.
Read 6
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List projects
Lists the projects in the token's Drive, newest first by default, as data: each with its id, name, folder_path, created_at, updated_at and created_by.
Get a project
Reads one project: its name, folder, times, its compositions (each with id, name and duration; edits and publishing can target one) and its media files.
Search the Drive
Searches the Drive by name, transcript text and what is on screen, as results: projects, videos, audio, images, folders and their matching text, best match first.
Get a job
Reads an import, edit or publish job: job_type, job_state (queued, running, stopped or cancelled) and, when finished, its result.
List jobs
Lists recent jobs (the last 7 days, up to 30), newest first, as data: each with job_id, job_type, job_state and project_id.
Export a transcript
Exports a project's transcript (the first composition, or one you name) as plain text, Markdown or HTML, in result, with speaker labels and optional timecodes every few seconds.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Import media from a URL
Imports a video or audio file from a URL Descript can fetch (a public or presigned link, not YouTube) into a new project, or into an existing one with project_id, and transcribes it.
Edit with Underlord
Asks Underlord, Descript's AI editor, to edit a project from a plain instruction, like "remove filler words and add Studio Sound", "add captions" or "make a 30-second highlight clip".
Publish a project
Publishes a project (or one composition) as video or audio to a Descript share page, at a resolution and access level (public, unlisted, drive or private).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste an API key from your Descript account.
What you enter
- API token
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Descript data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list projects, get a project or search the Drive in Descript, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Descript
Have the agent publish a project in Descript as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Descript and Slack: it can list projects in Descript and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
