HD Upscale

upscale_hd

Enlarge a photo by up to four times with real detail, to a maximum of 4096 px on the long edge — for print, MLS uploads and large screens. Nothing in the photo changes. Free on any result Pixly made (pass its r2Path from list_library); 1 credit on your own photo. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
r2PathNoStorage path of a photo already in the user's Pixly library (from list_library, or returned by an upload ticket) — the alternative to imageUrl.
imageUrlNoPublic https URL of the source photo, or a data: URI. Either imageUrl or r2Path is required.
listingIdNoA property folder (from list_listings or create_listing) to put the result in. Results of a photo that is already in a folder go there by themselves.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
jobsNoSeveral jobs at once (get_job with jobIds, or a plan's steps): each one's jobId, status and results
noteNo
typeNo
errorNo
jobIdYesPass to get_job to poll
quoteNoPresent when status is "awaiting_confirmation": nothing ran and nothing was charged yet — the price and settings the user is asked to confirm
statusYespending | processing | completed | failed — anything not completed/failed is still running
createdAtNo
resultUrlsNoPresent when completed; valid 7 days
completedAtNo
resultPathsNoStorage path of each result — pass one as r2Path (or beforeR2Path, a photos[] item) to run another tool on this result
creditsChargedNo

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare non-destructive, non-idempotent, open-world behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds real value beyond them: 'Nothing in the photo changes' (content preservation), the output size ceiling, and the credit-charging rule that draws down the user's Pixly balance.

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?

Two compact sentences, front-loaded with the action, limits, and use cases before the cost model. Every clause carries information; no filler or repetition of the title.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. The description covers purpose, scale limits, non-destructiveness, and pricing, and the schema covers all three parameters, leaving little an agent needs to infer. Only the absence of any sibling routing keeps it from a 5.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with r2Path, imageUrl, and listingId all documented including the alternative-to relationship and folder placement behavior. The description reinforces r2Path's origin (list_library) but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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 (enlarge), resource (photo), hard limits (4x, 4096 px long edge), and intended use cases (print, MLS uploads, large screens). It is unmistakably distinguishable from most siblings by the upscale/print framing, though it never names the closest alternative (enhance_photo) to sharpen the boundary.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives clear context for when this is the right call (print, MLS uploads, large screens) and states the cost condition that governs the decision: free when passing an r2Path from list_library, 1 credit for the user's own photo. No explicit when-not or named alternative is offered, so it falls short of a 5.

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