Tools Fireflies exposes
Add to Live Meeting
The AddToLive Action allows you to add the Fireflies.ai bot to an ongoing meeting. Note: This action requires a paid Fireflies plan to add bots to meetings.
Continue AskFred Thread
Tool to continue an existing AskFred conversation thread with follow-up questions. This action CANNOT create new threads - it only works with existing thread IDs. Use when you need to maintain context from previous exchanges and ask additional questions about meeting data in the same conversation. To start a new thread, use FIREFLIES_CREATE_ASK_FRED_THREAD instead.
Create AskFred Thread
Tool to start a new AskFred conversation thread with a question about meetings. Use when you need to query meeting transcripts using natural language, either for a specific meeting or across multiple meetings with filters. Supports time-based queries and participant-focused queries.
Create Bite
Tool to create a bite (short video or audio clip) from a transcript segment. Use when you need to extract a specific portion of a meeting recording with defined start and end times.
Delete Transcript by ID
Permanently delete a transcript from the Fireflies account by its unique ID. This is a destructive action that cannot be undone. The transcript, along with its associated audio/video files and summaries, will be permanently removed. Rate limited to 10 requests per minute across all user tiers. Verify the target transcript via FIREFLIES_GET_TRANSCRIPTS and obtain explicit user confirmation before calling this tool.
Fetch AI App Outputs
Tool to fetch AI App outputs for specific apps or transcripts. Use when you need to retrieve AI-generated results from Fireflies AI Apps for meetings.
Get AskFred Thread
Tool to get a specific AskFred conversation thread with full history. Use when retrieving a particular AskFred thread along with all its messages and conversation details.
Get AskFred Threads
Tool to retrieve a summary of all AskFred conversation threads for the current user. Use when you need to browse or list available AskFred conversations without fetching full message history.
Events your agent can react to
Transcription Complete Trigger
Triggers when a transcription is complete. Polls the Fireflies API over a window anchored to Fireflies' own transcript dates (not our wall clock) and emits each transcript once (deduped by id), so late, back-dated transcripts are not missed. Handles rate limiting gracefully.
