Generate video clip

generate_video_clip

Use for standalone text to video or image to video: animate a product photo, generate a product-in-use shot, or create a clip from reference footage. Accepts a text prompt, source images, source videos, spokenDialogue, or reference audio. Image and video references can be combined at every quality. References guide generation without guaranteeing exact reproduction. Creates a media file using team credits; use storyboard_to_video for an editable multi-scene ad. Typically takes 1–3 minutes (HIGH/MAX can take longer). Explain that wait and poll get_tool_execution for the output file and downloadUrl.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptNoDescription of the video to generate.
qualityNoVideo generation quality. Omit to use workspace settings.
aspectRatioNoOutput aspect ratio as width:height units (not pixels). Example: { width: 16, height: 9 }.
audioFileIdsNoOptional reference audio file ids used to lip-sync from a recording. Use spokenDialogue to have the model speak a line it generates itself.
imageFileIdsNoReference images to guide the generated appearance. Use fileId values from upload_file, get_file, or list_files. Can be combined with videoFileIds at every quality.
videoFileIdsNoReference videos for motion or style guidance, without guaranteeing exact reproduction. Can be combined with startFrameFileId or imageFileIds at every quality.
generateAudioNoWhether the result must include generated audio.
spokenDialogueNoExact line the subject should speak as native lip-synced speech. The model synthesizes the voice from this text.
durationSecondsNoRequested clip playback duration in seconds. Omit or pass null for automatic timing.
startFrameFileIdNoOptional opening-frame still file id. Used as the first frame when no video references are attached. Can be combined with videoFileIds at every quality. With video references, this image guides appearance without guaranteeing an exact first frame.
voiceDescriptionNoNatural-language description of the voice that speaks spokenDialogue. Used when spokenDialogue is set.
suppressBackgroundMusicNoWhen true, the clip will not include a musical soundtrack. Spoken dialogue and environmental sound are still allowed. Use this when background music will be added separately.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNoError details when status is failed; otherwise null.
statusNoJob status: pending, running, succeeded, failed, or cancelled.
resultsNoGenerated results with download URLs when succeeded.
toolTypeNoTool name (e.g. GENERATE_IMAGE).
attemptIndexNoCurrent or latest attempt index.
toolExecutionIdYesTool execution id (vg_tool_...).
progressPercentageNoCompletion progress 0-100 (present after polling).

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the annotations by disclosing credit consumption, expected latency (1–3 minutes, longer at HIGH/MAX), the asynchronous pattern of polling get_tool_execution for the output file and downloadUrl, and the important caveat that references guide generation without guaranteeing exact reproduction. These are exactly the operational facts an agent needs before invoking a long-running paid generation.

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?

Front-loads the core purpose and keeps the operational notes compact in a single paragraph. The final sentence ("Explain that wait and poll get_tool_execution...") is phrased as a meta-instruction to the agent rather than tool behavior, which is slightly awkward but still informative.

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 needn't be spelled out, yet the description still points to the downloadUrl flow. Cost, latency, async behavior, and reference fidelity are all covered; the main residual gap is disambiguation from the several other video-generation siblings.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds some semantic value by noting that image and video references can be combined at every quality and that references are guidance rather than exact reproduction, but it does not explain any parameter the schema leaves ambiguous, such as quality tiers or spokenDialogue vs audioFileIds interplay.

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 ("standalone text to video or image to video") plus concrete use cases like animating a product photo. It distinguishes itself from storyboard_to_video, but does not clarify how it differs from close siblings such as prompt_to_video_clip or video_to_video, which an agent could easily confuse it with.

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 when-to-use context (standalone single clips) and names one explicit alternative with its selection condition: "use storyboard_to_video for an editable multi-scene ad." No exclusions are given against the other video-generation siblings, so the routing guidance is partial rather than complete.

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