detect_ai
Detect whether media content was generated by AI. Supports images, video, audio, and text/PDF. Runs multiple specialized detection models in parallel for the given media type. Returns a job_id — use check_job to poll for results.
detect_fingerprint
Detect whether media has been previously registered or seen, using fingerprint matching. Compares against your indexed library at varying depth. Tiers: exact (hash match), quick (perceptual hash), perceptual (visual similarity), compositional (scene structure), full (all tiers). Returns results immediately.
detect_membership
Run membership inference to determine whether your protected content was used to train a suspect AI model. Provide content IDs (from your registered media) and the model to test. Methods: pattern (watermark detection), statistical (distribution analysis), combined (both). Returns a job_id — use check_job to poll for results.
register_media
Register and protect media on the Sidearm platform. Modes: register (provenance signing only), search_ready (register + vector indexing), standard (search_ready + watermarks + AI-training poison), maximum (standard + style cloaking + adversarial hardening). Returns the created media object.
list_media
List media assets registered to your account. Returns a paginated list with media IDs, types, status, tags, and protection details. Use cursor-based pagination for large libraries.
get_media
Get details of a specific registered media asset by ID. Returns metadata, protection status, applied algorithms, tags, and storage information.
update_media
Update a registered media asset. Currently supports updating the original media URL (e.g., after re-hosting the original file).
delete_media
Permanently delete a registered media asset. Removes storage files, vector embeddings, and all associated metadata. This action cannot be undone.
get_rights
Get rights and licensing information for a registered media asset. Returns C2PA content credentials, Schema.org structured data, IPTC rights metadata, and TDM-AI protocol declarations. Useful for verifying provenance and license terms.
get_billing
Get billing, usage summary, storage stats, and algorithm breakdown for your account. Returns credit balance, protection/storage cost breakdown, per-algorithm usage, billing events, and a link to the Stripe customer portal. Filter by date range, event type, tags, or API token.
get_provenance
Get the full provenance chain for a media asset. Returns every protection algorithm applied (with versions, timings, and metadata), the C2PA manifest, any AI training membership inference results, and every search where this media appeared as a match. Use this to audit the complete history of what has been done to any media item.
search_docs
Search the Sidearm API documentation. Returns relevant sections from the full developer reference covering endpoints, request/response formats, authentication, SDKs, algorithms, and usage examples. Use this to look up how to call an endpoint, understand a concept, or find example code. Omit the query to get the overview and index of available topics.
navigate_ui
Look up how to perform an action in the Sidearm dashboard UI. Returns step-by-step instructions for dashboard operations such as uploading media, running searches, managing API keys, reviewing deals, buying credits, and more. Use this when the user asks how to do something in the dashboard or web app. Omit the query to get an overview of all available pages.
