Describe a Chutes media model

describe_media_model
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch a model's live cords and input schemas to compose valid media requests. Use it before generating with an unfamiliar model to check required fields, types, defaults, and a minimal example.

Instructions

Fetch a model's live cords and input schemas so you can compose a valid request. ALWAYS call this before generate_media for an unfamiliar model. Returns every cord (e.g. generate, and img2img/inpaint when present) with its required fields, types, defaults and a minimal example payload.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modelYesModel name/slug, e.g. owner/model-slug.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive, so the description only needs to add context. It does so by describing the payload content (every cord with required fields, types, defaults, minimal example), which helps the agent plan the follow-up call.

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?

Three tight sentences with the call-before-use instruction front-loaded and no redundant restatement of the name or title.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with full schema coverage and an output schema, the definition supplies the missing piece — when to call it and what the return payload contains. Nothing needed for correct invocation is absent.

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?

The single 'model' parameter has 100% schema description coverage including the 'owner/model-slug' format, so the schema does the work. The description adds nothing about the parameter itself, which is the baseline 3 case.

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 ('Fetch') and resource ('model's live cords and input schemas') with the goal ('compose a valid request'). It is clearly distinguishable from list_media_models (listing) and generate_media (execution).

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?

Explicitly instructs 'ALWAYS call this before generate_media for an unfamiliar model,' giving a clear trigger condition. It doesn't mention when list_media_models is the better entry point, so the sibling routing is only partially covered.

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