Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
create_roomA

Create a new empty live-collaboration room, join it, and return the excalidraw.com link for a person to open. The link contains the encryption key; share it only with people who should see the drawing.

join_roomA

Join an existing excalidraw.com live-collaboration room from its link (the URL with #room=,). Loads the current scene from a connected peer, or from the room's persisted copy if nobody else is present.

room_statusA

Connection state, peers, and scene counters for the current room.

read_sceneA

Read the current drawing. 'summary' gives one line per element with position, size, text, and a sampled path for freehand strokes. 'json' returns the full Excalidraw element array.

add_elementsB

Add elements to the drawing from compact specs. Shapes take x, y, width, height and an optional label. Arrows take start/end element ids (edges are computed) or absolute points. Later specs may reference ids of earlier specs in the same call.

add_raw_elementsA

Add complete Excalidraw elements verbatim (the JSON shape from an .excalidraw file). Missing version fields are filled in; fractional indices are assigned if absent.

update_elementsA

Patch existing elements by id. 'set' is merged over the element; version and nonce are bumped. Changing 'text' or 'fontSize' on a text element re-measures it unless width/height are given.

delete_elementsA

Soft-delete elements by id (Excalidraw keeps tombstones so peers converge).

leave_roomA

Disconnect from the current room.
