createImage

Generate game-art images from a text prompt alone, selecting an image_type (e.g. sprite) and optionally art_style, perspective, and aspect_ratio. The job result is an array of image results, each with a url; request n (1-8) to control how many variations come back. Because it generates purely from text it takes no source image, so there is no upload size limit to trip. Credits are charged only on success, scaled to the number of images produced. Use createImage to make new images from scratch; use generateWithStyle to match a reference image's art style, editImage to modify an existing image, and removeBackground to cut out a subject. Pass an optional request_id to tag the results so you can retrieve them later via GET /assets/images/results. Requires an API key (user scope). Returns 202 with a job id immediately; poll getApiJob (pass wait: 30) until status is succeeded, then read its result field, which is exactly the response documented for this operation. Each account may have up to 50 generations queued or running at once; beyond that submissions return 429 (PENDING_JOBS_LIMIT) - wait for jobs to finish.

Credits: This endpoint consumes 0.5 credits per result.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it does so thoroughly. It reveals the async 202-with-job-id flow, polling instructions, the result field, auth requirement, success-only credit charging, and the 50-job concurrency limit causing 429.

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?

The description is long but each sentence earns its place: primary purpose, output shape, alternatives, async flow, limits, and credits. It is front-loaded with the core action and then layers necessary operational details in a logical order.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's complexity and the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is remarkably complete. It tells the agent how to invoke, how to poll, what response shape to expect, what limits apply, how auth works, and which sibling tools to use instead — leaving no critical gap for correct invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3; the description earns a 4 by adding practical meaning beyond the schema: 'request n (1-8) to control how many variations come back', 'no upload size limit to trip' because there is no source image, and request_id usage for later retrieval via the results endpoint. It does not fully describe augment_prompt, but the schema already documents that parameter clearly.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Generate game-art images from a text prompt alone', and clearly scopes the tool's capability by naming image_type, art_style, perspective, and aspect_ratio. It also explicitly distinguishes createImage from siblings: 'use generateWithStyle to match a reference image's art style, editImage to modify an existing image, and removeBackground to cut out a subject.'

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?

The description directly states when to use this tool vs alternatives: 'Use createImage to make new images from scratch' followed by sibling-specific alternatives. It also adds practical usage context: no source image required, async job flow via getApiJob, rate limits, and credit behavior.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools pair a clear action and asset type (create3DModel, editVideo, removeBackground), and overlapping pairs such as animateSprite vs transferMotion vs animateSpriteKeyframes are carefully differentiated by input mode. The main friction is listApiJobs vs listGenerations, which both return generation history from slightly different scopes.

Naming Consistency4/5

The set is overwhelmingly consistent camelCase verb+noun (create*, edit*, list*, animate*, cancel*), with only minor deviations like generatePose/generateWithStyle alongside createImage and the slightly awkward validateApiKeyEndpoint. There is no chaotic mixing of conventions.

Tool Count2/5

At 31 tools this exceeds the 25+ threshold for 'too many', even though the multimodal game-asset scope explains much of the breadth. Agents face a large selection surface with many generation variants across 3D, sprites, images, audio, and video.

Completeness4/5

Core workflows are covered: image-to-3D plus rigging and animation, sprite pose/rotation/animation/editing, image create/edit/style/background-removal, video create/edit/upscale, and audio SFX/ambiance/music/voice. Minor gaps remain, such as no image upscaler and no individual asset retrieval or deletion.
