Generate music

generate_music

Start a music generation from a creative brief. This spends credits, or runs on the user's own key, and returns immediately. Models:

minimax-music-2.6 — MiniMax Music 2.6; ~12.5 per track
eleven-music — Eleven Music; ~12.5 per track; instrumental only — takes no lyrics and no lyrics_optimizer; always MP3 — sample_rate and bitrate are not accepted

Tool call template

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

A3.8/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly=false, destructive=false, idempotent=false), it discloses the two things an agent most needs: this spends credits or a user key, and it returns immediately rather than producing audio synchronously. Per-model constraints (eleven-music takes no lyrics/lyrics_optimizer, is always MP3, rejects sample_rate/bitrate) and the ~12.5 credits-per-track cost are real behavioral detail.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Cost/async behavior is front-loaded in one sentence, then model-specific caveats are packed into a terse list with no filler. The dash-separated model notes are dense but scannable.

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?

For a 10-parameter, credit-spending, asynchronous generation tool this covers payer selection, timing, cost, and model incompatibilities; an output schema exists so return values need not be described. The missing piece is how the job is later retrieved or whether a sibling exists for that, and guidance versus the recipe/own-model paths.

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 only 20%, and the description compensates by explaining which parameters each model accepts and rejects — precisely the cross-parameter constraints the schema cannot express. It leaves prompt, lyrics, and is_instrumental interaction unexplained, which keeps it short of a 5.

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?

The opening sentence gives a specific verb and resource ('Start a music generation from a creative brief'), which separates it from audio siblings like generate_voiceover or trim_audio. The model list reinforces the scope, but no sibling is named explicitly 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 Guidelines3/5

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

It implies you use this when you have a creative brief and want audio, and the per-model notes hint at model choice. But there is no guidance on when to prefer generate_with_recipe, generate_with_own_model, or regenerate_generation, and no explicit exclusions.

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