Generate a wall canvas
generate_canvasTHE TOOL FOR ANY CANVAS. Generate the large-format WALL CANVAS for ONE activity using Metodic's real canvas generator, and return it as a branded document in the chat (also saved to the session, and replayable 1:1 to a Miro board). This is the big thing that goes ON THE WALL and that a group fills in together — sized to who shares it (one A1 for the whole room, an A2 per small group) — as opposed to generate_worksheet, which makes the A4 that each participant works on alone. Ask for this whenever the user says canvas, wall canvas, poster, large format, brownpaper, matrix or mapping wall. Give the activity's number (1-based, from the agenda). Takes ~20-30s and 0.5 Metodic credit.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| size | No | Print size. Leave it on auto: the canvas is A1 when the whole room shares it and A2 when each small group gets its own. Only set it when the user asks for a size. | |
| activity | Yes | 1-based activity number from the agenda. | |
| regenerate | No | Only set this to true when the user explicitly wants a NEW version. Left out, an existing one is returned as-is and costs nothing. | |
| session_id | Yes | The Metodic session id. | |
| canvas_type | No | Optional canvas shape. Metodic has ready-made ones: swot, empathy-map, stakeholder-map, business-canvas, priority-matrix, decision-matrix, journey-map, reflection. Anything else (or leaving it out) makes Metodic design a canvas around the method itself. |
