List all VOD assets currently in my Edgio account.

I've retrieved your VOD library. You have 12 assets, including 'Product_Launch_2024' (ID: a1b2c3) and 'Tutorial_Series_01' (ID: d4e5f6). Would you like details on a specific one?

Start the live event with ID 'live_event_998'.

The signal to start live event 'live_event_998' has been sent successfully. The stream is now transitioning to active status.

Initialize a playback session for asset 'd4e5f6' with ad configuration 'midroll_test'.

Playback session initialized. Here is your HLS URL: https://content.uplynk.com/d4e5f6.m3u8?pbs=xyz123&ad=midroll_test. The session is ready for secure delivery.

You should use the `initialize_preplay_session` tool with the Asset ID. This will return a session-based playback URL (HLS or DASH) including metadata for SSAI and security.
