Drive Shutterstock with governed agents
Creative assets and channels, readable without handing anyone the keys. The Shutterstock connector is one of 205 executable connectors and gives agents 5 read-only tools, with the credential held in the vault and every call receipted.
What agents can run against Shutterstock
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_images | Search the Shutterstock image library and return image metadata (ID, description, image type, aspect ratio, contributor, preview and thumbnail asset URLs) |
get_image | Get metadata for one Shutterstock image by ID (description, image type, aspect ratio, contributor, model release, preview and thumbnail asset URLs) |
search_videos | Search the Shutterstock video library and return clip metadata (ID, description, duration, aspect ratio, contributor, preview and thumbnail asset URLs) |
search_audio | Search the Shutterstock music library and return track metadata (ID, title, description, duration, BPM, genres, moods, instruments, preview MP3 URL) |
list_image_categories | List the Shutterstock-defined image categories with their IDs, for use as the category filter on an image search |
Every tool above is read-only. Write surfaces ship only after live testing, and always behind approval gates.
What the Shutterstock connector needs
You provide API key, API secret from your Shutterstock account; Quox sends it as HTTP basic credentials. The credential is stored encrypted in the vault and resolved just-in-time, so agents use it without ever seeing it.
Where to get it: Shutterstock's own API documentation ↗ covers creating and scoping the credential.
How proven is this?
This connector was blind shape-proven against the real Shutterstock API: every endpoint it declares answered measurably differently from a deliberately bogus control request, without any account or credential involved. It is Beta: proven against the live API surface, not yet run with a real credential.
