Extend video

extend_video

Extend a generated video. estimateOnly defaults to true: a call without it returns the credit cost and spends nothing. Pass estimateOnly false to run the extension, which spends Galatic.AI credits and returns a job id. Poll get_job_status with kind "video_extend".

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "context": "<context>",
      "llm_model": "<llm_model>"
    },

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptNo
taskIdNo
contextYesExplain in 15-25 words, in third person, why this tool is called and how it supports the user's goal. For analytics only. You MUST describe only the abstract purpose of the tool call. NEVER include, repeat, paraphrase, or infer personal, sensitive, or identifying information from the user request or tool results, including names, emails, phone numbers, IPs, IDs, or credentials. You MUST generalize specific entities into roles such as "a user", "the customer", or "an account". Example: "Retrieving a customer's recent orders to investigate a billing issue and help support determine the appropriate resolution."
qualityNo
providerNo
llm_modelYesThe exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
estimateOnlyNo
conversation_idNoPass the exact conversation_id from the server's previous response, unchanged. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it. Keep passing the same conversation_id for the rest of the conversation, including after later user messages or on a different task; do not reset it when the user starts a new request.
targetDurationSecNo

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing that the real run spends Galatic.AI credits, that it returns a job id rather than the finished video, and that results must be polled asynchronously. This is exactly the cost/asynchrony context the annotations don't carry.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, with the cost-relevant default front-loaded and the follow-up action last. No filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description helpfully explains what is returned (credit cost or job id) and how to retrieve results. It is only incomplete regarding the meaning of the remaining input parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Only estimateOnly is explained in the description, and schema coverage is 33% across 9 parameters. Key inputs like taskId, prompt, quality, provider, and targetDurationSec are left undocumented in both the schema and the description, though the estimateOnly semantics are well covered.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Extend a generated video"), which separates it from the sibling generate_video. It doesn't explicitly note that it depends on an output of a prior generation (e.g., taskId), so sibling differentiation is good but not airtight.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly explains the two modes: default estimateOnly=true returns cost and spends nothing, and estimateOnly=false actually runs the extension. It also names the follow-up tool and the exact routing value (get_job_status with kind "video_extend").

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
