skills: {'id': 'tm_import_rvt', 'name': 'tm_import_rvt', 'description': 'Import a Revit/BIM model into the Twinmotion visualization pipeline: downloads the source file from a public URL, uploads it to an APS OSS transient bucket, and kicks off an SVF2 + thumbnail translation job. Returns the base64 URN (project_id) used by every other tm_* tool.\n\nWhen to use: when a user wants to prepare a Revit (.rvt), IFC (.ifc), or other BIM/CAD model for real-time visualization in Unreal Engine / Twinmotion — typically the first step before rendering stills, defining scenes, or exporting FBX/glTF/OBJ geometry for a UE import. Also use when you need thumbnails or view metadata from a source file that has not yet been translated by APS.\nWhen NOT to use: not for MEP clash review (use navisworks-mcp), not for quantity takeoff or cost estimation (use qto-mcp), not for Twinmotion presets editing — Twinmotion itself has no public REST API, so scene/material authoring must happen manually in the UE editor after FBX/USD export.\nAPS scopes required: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read. Uses Model Derivative API (translation) + OSS (upload). Twinmotion has no public REST API; all automation is APS Model Derivative + manual Unreal Engine export.\nRate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; large .rvt/.nwd/.ifc files are often multi-GB and translation can take 5–60 min — poll the manifest with exponential backoff (start 5s, cap 60s) rather than retrying this tool. Worker request ceiling is ~100MB body; extremely large files may need signed-URL upload instead.\nErrors: 401 = APS token failed (check APS_CLIENT_ID/APS_CLIENT_SECRET, re-auth); 403 = scope missing (bucket:create/data:write not granted — have user re-consent); 404 = file_url unreachable; 409 = bucket key collision (rare — retry, tool uses timestamp); 413/507 = file too large for worker memory (advise signed-URL upload); 422 = unsupported source format (only Autodesk-accepted types: rvt, ifc, nwd, dwg, dgn, 3dm, stp, etc.); 429 = back off 60s before retrying; 5xx = APS upstream outage, retry with backoff.\nSide effects: CREATES a new transient OSS bucket (scanbim-viz-<timestamp>, auto-expires in 24h), CREATES an object in OSS, STARTS a translation job consuming APS cloud credits. NOT idempotent — each call creates a new bucket + URN. Writes a row to usage_log D1 table.', 'tags': [], 'examples': None, 'input_modes': None, 'output_modes': None}, {'id': 'tm_set_environment', 'name': 'tm_set_environment', 'description': "Configure the visualization environment (weather, time-of-day, surround context) for a previously imported model. Validates the model exists via APS Model Derivative manifest, then stores the environment config in KV (24h TTL) so tm_render_image and tm_export_video can apply it.\n\nWhen to use: after tm_import_rvt completes and the manifest status is 'success' (or in-progress if you just want to pre-stage config), when the user wants to set scene context — e.g. 'render the tower at 17:00 in an urban setting with clear weather' — before generating images or video walkthroughs. Typical step 2 in the Twinmotion flow.\nWhen NOT to use: not for editing geometry, materials, or UE post-process volumes (those live in the Unreal Engine editor after FBX/USD import — Twinmotion has no public REST API). Do not call before tm_import_rvt — there is no URN to attach config to.\nAPS scopes required: viewables:read data:read (manifest + metadata fetch only — read-only for this tool). No bucket or write scopes needed.\nRate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; manifest/metadata are cheap but polling-heavy if the model is still translating — prefer a single call per user intent, not a status-poll loop. KV writes are effectively unlimited at this scale.\nErrors: 401 = APS token expired/invalid; 403 = viewables:read not granted; 404 = URN unknown to APS (wrong project_id, or translation never started); 409 = n/a; 422 = n/a; 429 = back off 30s; 5xx = APS Model Derivative outage.\nSide effects: WRITES the env config to KV under key env_config_<urn> (TTL 86400s). Idempotent — calling again overwrites the prior config. Writes a row to usage_log.", 'tags': [], 'examples': None, 'input_modes': None, 'output_modes': None}, {'id': 'tm_render_image', 'name': 'tm_render_image', 'description': "Render a still preview image of the model at a specified resolution by pulling the APS Model Derivative thumbnail (capped at 800x800 by the APS endpoint). Also resolves the camera_preset against model metadata to identify which 3D view it maps to, and applies any stored environment config from tm_set_environment for reference.\n\nWhen to use: when you need a quick visual sanity-check of an imported model (e.g. 'show me what Tower A looks like'), to preview a specific named view before committing to a full UE/Twinmotion render, or to embed a low-res preview in a chat/report. Pair with tm_list_scenes first to discover valid view names/GUIDs.\nWhen NOT to use: not for production-quality renders (APS thumbnails are low-res and raster-only; for cinematic output use Unreal Engine Movie Render Queue after FBX/USD export), not for arbitrary custom camera angles (only named views from the source file are resolvable — there is no runtime camera placement API here), not for 2D sheet exports (use tm_list_scenes to find 2D roles and fetch directly).\nAPS scopes required: viewables:read data:read. Hits Model Derivative thumbnail + metadata endpoints only.\nRate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint. Thumbnail endpoint is usually fast (<2s) once the model has translated; if called while status='inprogress' it returns no thumbnail. Do not loop-poll this tool — poll the manifest via tm_set_environment or tm_list_scenes instead.\nErrors: 401/403 = token/scope; 404 = URN not found or thumbnail not yet generated (model still translating — retry after manifest reports success); 409 = n/a; 422 = n/a; 429 = back off 30s; 5xx = APS upstream.\nSide effects: NONE (read-only on APS).

Also returns the list of available named views so the operator can stitch them into a camera path. Does NOT itself produce an mp4 — video encoding happens in the downstream UE/Twinmotion pipeline.\n\nWhen to use: when a user wants a walkthrough/flythrough video of a BIM model (e.g. 'make a 30-second tour of Tower A') — this tool gets the geometry into a UE-ingestible form (.obj, plus suggests FBX/glTF/USD naming like TowerA_walkthrough.fbx for the exported asset) and enumerates named views to guide camera path authoring.\nWhen NOT to use: not to actually encode video (no runtime renderer in this worker — output must be finished in Unreal/Twinmotion/Blender), not before tm_import_rvt, not if the manifest is still 'inprogress' (the tool will short-circuit and return status='pending'). Not for still images (use tm_render_image) or clash animations (use navisworks-mcp).\nAPS scopes required: data:read data:write viewables:read. Write scopes are needed because this kicks off a new Model Derivative translation job (OBJ + thumbnail).\nRate limits: APS default ~50 req/min; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min. OBJ derivatives of large BIM models can be multi-GB and take 10–45 min — rely on manifest polling with exponential backoff, not re-calling this tool.\nErrors: 401/403 = token/scope (data:write commonly missing); 404 = URN not found; 409 = OBJ derivative already queued (treat as success); 422 = input format does not support OBJ output (some IFC variants / proprietary formats — fall back to FBX/glTF via a different derivative format); 429 = back off 60s; 5xx = APS upstream.\nSide effects: STARTS a new translation job on an existing URN (consumes APS cloud credits). Writes usage_log. NOT idempotent per-call (each call creates a new job record), but APS will dedupe identical output requests internally if manifest already contains the derivative.", 'tags': [], 'examples': None, 'input_modes': None, 'output_modes': None}, {'id': 'tm_list_scenes', 'name': 'tm_list_scenes', 'description': "Enumerate every 2D/3D view ('scene') baked into the translated model, plus a shallow dump of the model object tree (first 50 top-level nodes across all 3D views), plus the list of completed derivatives (svf2, thumbnail, obj, etc.) available via APS. The canonical discovery tool for anything downstream that needs a view name or GUID.\n\nWhen to use: before tm_render_image (to pick a valid camera_preset), before tm_export_video (to plan a camera path across named views), to audit what was translated ('did the 3D coordination view survive translation?'), or to expose the top-level model hierarchy for UI display. Also a useful health check — if scene_count=0, the translation is incomplete or failed.\nWhen NOT to use: not for full property queries on individual objects (this tool returns names + GUIDs + child counts only — use a dedicated property-query tool for full attribute dumps), not for geometry data (use tm_export_video for OBJ export), not on a URN that has not yet started translating.\nAPS scopes required: viewables:read data:read. Read-only across Model Derivative manifest + metadata + object-tree endpoints.\nRate limits: APS default ~50 req/min. This tool fans out across every 3D view to fetch object trees — for models with many 3D views (10+) it can burn a chunk of the budget in one call.
