# `analyze_video`

_Performance_

`write` `10/day`

Analyze one of the brand's own published video posts using the same pipeline as Dalea. Pass platformVideoId from list_videos and platform to disambiguate. Returns cached analysis without AI or quota when available; otherwise requires confirm=true and consumes the daily quota (10/day). Includes transcript/timed segments when available, hook, structure, visual analysis, takeaway and comparison with the same connected account. Respects manual classifications. Check evidence: thumbnail or metadata is not observation of the video. Images/carousels are unsupported. Does not sync metrics. Read the saved result later with get_video; saved=false means persistence failed.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `brandId` | `string` | no |  |
| `platformVideoId` | `string` | yes |  |
| `platform` | `"instagram" \| "tiktok"` | no |  |
| `confirm` | `true` | yes |  |
