FXI Studio

Upload media from a link

upload_from_url

Copies an image, video or audio file from a public https link that downloads the file directly into your FXI uploads, checks it, and returns an asset_url for generate_video, generate_image, frame_chain or compose_scene. Up to 50 MB; use create_upload_url for larger files. Links to private networks are refused.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations supply the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, destructiveHint=false), so the bar is lower. The description still adds real behavioral context the annotations lack: a 50 MB size cap, private-network refusal, and the fact that the file is validated ('checks it') before an asset_url is returned.

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 sentences, zero filler, front-loaded with what is copied and where it lands, then the size limit, fallback tool, and refusal rule. Every clause carries operational information.

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?

Covers the full call cycle for a one-parameter tool: source constraint, size limit, validation, return value (asset_url) and the tools that consume it. No output schema exists, but the description names the returned field, so nothing an agent needs is missing.

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% and the schema already warns 'not a web page about it,' so the baseline is 3. The description goes a step further by requiring a public https link that 'downloads the file directly,' reinforcing the same constraint for the single url parameter.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Copies an image, video or audio file from a public https link') plus the destination ('your FXI uploads') and the returned handle ('asset_url'). It also distinguishes itself from create_upload_url by naming the size threshold at which that sibling takes over.

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 a clear condition for the alternative ('use create_upload_url for larger files') and names the four downstream tools that consume the resulting asset_url, which tells the agent when it should reach for this tool. It does not say when to prefer upload_media_data for local files, which is the one gap.

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