    export async function handleCheckBalance() {
      if (!API_KEY) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text" as const,
              text: "No POLLINATIONS_API_KEY set. Balance check requires an API key.\nFree models (flux, turbo) work without a key.",
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    
      try {
        const res = await fetch("https://gen.pollinations.ai/account/balance", {
          headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
        });
    
        if (!res.ok) {
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: `Balance check failed: HTTP ${res.status}` }],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
    
        const data = await res.json() as { balance?: number; pollen?: number };
        const balance = data.balance ?? data.pollen ?? 0;
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text" as const,
              text: [
                `Pollinations balance: ${balance} pollen`,
                `API key: ${API_KEY.slice(0, 6)}...${API_KEY.slice(-4)}`,
                "",
                "Free models (flux, turbo, wan2.6) use 0 pollen.",
                "Paid models: gptimage ~5, imagen-4 ~3, grok-imagine ~3, seedance-pro ~20 pollen/gen.",
              ].join("\n"),
            },

        };
      } catch (err) {
        return {
