QR codes for links & contacts
Scored across 2 tools
generate_text_qr_code is a strict subset of generate_qr_code, which already explicitly handles plain text input. An agent has no reliable reason to pick the narrower tool, and the boundary is only implied by wording rather than by a distinct capability.
Both tools follow the generate_..._qr_code pattern, which is predictable and readable. The slight asymmetry (qr_code vs text_qr_code word order) is minor.
Two tools is thin for a QR service, and one of them is functionally redundant with the other. A single well-scoped generate_qr_code would cover the stated surface more cleanly.
Static QR generation for URLs, text, contacts and events is covered, and the descriptions honestly scope out shortening, tracking, decoding and Wi-Fi. Still, Wi-Fi codes are a common QR need and the surface is essentially one operation with no companion capabilities.
Use this when the user wants a QR code: for a website link, plain text, an email, a phone number, an SMS, a contact card (vCard), or a calendar event. Returns the code as SVG with PNG and SVG download links, plus scan warnings (low contrast, high density) and an optional minimum print size. Plain text and SMS text are limited to 1,500 characters; URLs to 2,000; encoded content must fit the QR byte capacity (1,273–2,953 bytes depending on error correction). Generates static codes only; it does not shorten links, track scans, or make Wi-Fi codes. Do not use for barcodes (EAN/UPC/Code 128).
Inputs: kind (required), end, url, body, +14 more. Returns: svg, kind, modules, payload, +10 more
Use this when the user wants a PNG and SVG QR image that displays plain text when scanned. Accepts up to 1,500 characters, preserves whitespace, and reports contrast, density and optional print width. Encoded UTF-8 content must fit 1,273–2,953 bytes depending on error correction. Static codes only; does not read QR images or make barcodes or Wi-Fi codes.
Inputs: text, background, foreground, error_correction, +1 more. Returns: svg, kind, modules, payload, +10 more
