Instructions

Generate song lyrics from a prompt using Suno AI (max 200 characters). Returns text, no file download.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptYesPrompt for lyrics generation (max 200 chars)
max_creditsNoRefuse to submit if the estimated cost exceeds this many credits (overrides KIE_MAX_CREDITS_PER_CALL). Estimates come from published rates; kie bills the actual amount.
estimate_onlyNoReturn the estimated credit cost WITHOUT submitting anything. Use before expensive runs (video, 4K, 1080p upgrades, layer splits).

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the output modality ('Returns text, no file download'), which saves a pointless download_result call, and the 200-char prompt ceiling. However, it says nothing about credit consumption, even though max_credits/estimate_only exist and this is a billed Suno AI call — a material gap for a paid operation.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and the output-modality caveat immediately follows. Nothing extraneous beyond a minor duplication of the 200-char limit already in the schema.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a 3-param, no-output-schema tool this covers the essentials: what it produces and that no file is returned. It omits whether the call is synchronous or submit-and-poll (relevant given the many check_task-style siblings) and gives no hint that the call spends credits, so it is adequate but incomplete.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents prompt's 200-char limit, max_credits and estimate_only in detail. The description only restates the prompt limit and adds no new meaning for any parameter, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb+resource (generate song lyrics) plus an output modality ('Returns text, no file download'), which separates it from audio-producing siblings like generate_music and from the retrieval-oriented get_timestamped_lyrics. It does not name a sibling explicitly, so it stops just short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied — reach for this when you want lyric text rather than an audio artifact — but there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not statement and no mention of how it relates to generate_music or get_timestamped_lyrics. No alternatives or exclusions are given.

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