Agentic Cookbook — Prompt patterns
Five proven prompt patterns for common tasks with footage.one and an AI agent.
The following prompts work with any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, n8n AI Agent, LangChain ReAct). The MCP connection must be set up — see Connect Claude Desktop or MCP server.
1. Bulk-tagging a set of assets
Search all assets in the album "Summer trip 2026". Suggest appropriate keywords for each asset (max. 5) and add them. Report at the end how many keywords were added per asset.
Tools used: list_albums, add_assets_to_album lookup, get_keyword_suggestions, add_keywords_to_asset.
2. Create an album from search results
Create a new album "Best of Berlin Q2/2026" and add all assets whose keyword contains "Berlin" and which were created between April and June 2026.
Tools: create_album, search_assets, add_assets_to_album.
3. Duplicate cleanup
Find suspected duplicates based on filename in the last 100 uploaded assets. List them as a table without deleting them.
Tools: search_assets with sorting, get_asset for comparison. Deletion intentionally kept manual — safety net.
4. Generate asset descriptions
For all assets without a description in the album "Product images": generate a description in English, max. 200 characters, and save it.
Tools: list_albums, search_assets, generate_description, update_asset.
5. Storage import reporting
List all storages, fetch the last import operation for each one and summarise: how many items were imported, were there any errors?
Tools: list_storages, browse_storage, get_account_info.
Tips
- Clear intent: tell the agent exactly what should not happen (e.g. "without deleting").
- Limit the quantity: "the first 10", "max. 5 per asset" — prevents long token responses.
- Ask for a report: "Report at the end" forces structured output.
