One call: attendees, who recorded it, the summary with its template name, highlights and action items.
MCP tool fathom_video_read → get_call
read
Returns the call page: title, date, attendees, recorder, meeting type, the summary in the template currently selected on the page (Markdown) and its highlights. action_items lists the Action Items section with each item completed or open. The call must be one your account can open, your own or shared with you. A summary that Fathom is still writing comes back with summary_status generating.
