upload_video

Upload local video files (.mp4, .mov, .webm, .avi, .mkv, .m4v) to ComfyUI's input directory for use in video-loading nodes. Returns the stored filename for workflow integration.

Instructions

Upload a local video file (.mp4, .mov, .webm, .avi, .mkv, .m4v) to the connected ComfyUI's input/ directory via the HTTP /upload/image endpoint for use in video-loading nodes such as VHS_LoadVideo (ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite). Works for both local and remote ComfyUI. Returns the stored filename. Use upload_image for images or upload_audio for audio.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It mentions the endpoint and return value, but lacks disclosure about overwrite behavior, permissions, or error handling. This is a moderate gap given the absence of annotations.

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?

The description is highly concise, conveying core functionality, use case, and sibling alternatives in just two sentences. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple upload tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, target, supported formats, and return value. Minor gaps (e.g., overwrite behavior) exist but are not critical.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% for both parameters, and the description adds no new information beyond what is already in the schema descriptions. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states the action (upload), the resource (local video file), target directory (input/), endpoint, and supported formats. It distinguishes from siblings by explicitly naming upload_image and upload_audio.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit guidance is given: 'Use upload_image for images or upload_audio for audio.' Additionally, it notes the tool works for both local and remote ComfyUI, providing clear context for when to use this tool.

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