Provide either url (HTTP/HTTPS) or ref (id from a prior tool call). Audio quieter than threshold_db (default -30) counts as a pause; only pauses longer than max_pause seconds (default 1.5) are shortened, and each is collapsed to target_pause seconds (default 0.5, must be less than max_pause). Short pauses and leading silence are left untouched. Output is re-encoded to mp3 (192 kbps), wav, ogg, flac or m4a.",
