Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
seedNo
inputsYesA list of dialogue inputs, each containing text and a voice ID which will be converted into speech. The maximum number of unique voice IDs is 10. For reliable generation, keep the total character count across all `inputs[].text` values at or below 2,000 characters per request. Longer requests can te
model_idNoIdentifier of the model that will be used, you can query them using GET /v1/models. The model needs to have support for text to speech, you can check this using the can_do_text_to_speech property.
settingsNo
language_codeNo
output_formatNoOutput format of the generated audio. Formatted as codec_sample_rate_bitrate. So an mp3 with 22.05kHz sample rate at 32kbs is represented as mp3_22050_32. MP3 with 192kbps bitrate requires you to be subscribed to Creator tier or above. PCM with 44.1kHz sample rate requires you to be subscribed to Pr
enable_loggingNoWhen enable_logging is set to false zero retention mode will be used for the request. This will mean history features are unavailable for this request, including request stitching. Zero retention mode may only be used by enterprise customers.
apply_text_normalizationNoThis parameter controls text normalization with three modes: 'auto', 'on', and 'off'. When set to 'auto', the system will automatically decide whether to apply text normalization (e.g., spelling out numbers). With 'on', text normalization will always be applied, while with 'off', it will be skipped.
pronunciation_dictionary_locatorsNo

D1.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already flag non-readonly, non-idempotent, open-world behavior; the description adds that the call consumes ElevenLabs credits, which is a useful cost/side-effect note beyond annotations. It does not describe streaming output or other operational traits.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

It is extremely short, but it is a sentence fragment that mostly restates the tool name; the only substantive content is the credit warning. It is not front-loaded with actionable guidance.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 9-parameter streaming generation tool with no output schema and a sparse schema description, the definition is woefully incomplete. It does not explain usage, parameter behavior, or differentiation from closely named siblings.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 56% and several parameters (seed, settings, language_code, pronunciation_dictionary_locators) are undocumented. The description provides no parameter semantics at all, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description is essentially the tool name plus a credit warning; it does not state a distinct verb or scope relative to text_to_dialogue_stream or text_to_dialogue_full_with_timestamps. An agent cannot tell from the text why streaming-with-timestamps is needed over siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

No when-to-use guidance, no alternatives named, no prerequisites. The many sibling text-to-dialogue tools are not mentioned, so selection is left entirely to the name.

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