list_videosList videos from your Zype library with comprehensive filtering. **FILTERING STRATEGY - Use precise filters over text search:** - For category-based queries (e.g., "SNL videos", "premium content", "action movies"): → Use `category` filter: {"category": {"YouTube Channel": "Saturday Night Live"}} → First call list_categories to see available category names and values - For monetization queries (e.g., "subscription videos", "free content"): → Use monetization filters: subscription_required, pass_required, purchase_required - For series/episodic content: → Use series_id, season, episode filters - For batch operations on known videos: → Use `id` array filter instead of searching - Use `q` (text search) only for fuzzy title/description matching when exact filters don't apply **Available Filters:** - Pagination: page, per_page (max 500) - Text search: q (searches title, source_id, zobject title - use as last resort) - Status: active, on_air, featured, mature_content, friendly_title, keyword - Dates: created_at_gte/lte, published_at_gte/lte, updated_at_gte/lte - Monetization: subscription_required, pass_required, rental_required, purchase_required - Categories: category object (e.g., {"Genre": "Action", "Premium": "true"}) - Series: series_id, season - Source: source_id, dpt_enabled, country - External IDs: youtube_id, vimeo_id, crunchyroll_id, hulu_id - Batch: id (array of video IDs)
