veo_upscale_1080p

Upscale a Veo 3.1 video to 1080p resolution. Requires taskId from a completed Veo generation.

Instructions

Upscale a Veo 3.1 video to 1080p resolution. Requires taskId from a completed Veo generation.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
indexNoVideo index if multiple outputs
task_idYesTask ID from completed Veo generation
filenameNo
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.
download_dirNoAbsolute directory to save the file(s) into (created if missing). Defaults to the server's kie/assets/raw/. Must be absolute — the MCP server's working directory is not the caller's.
estimate_onlyNoReturn the estimated credit cost WITHOUT submitting anything. Use before expensive runs (video, 4K, 1080p upgrades, layer splits).

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it does very little: it never says whether upscaling creates a new asset or replaces the source, how long it takes, that it costs credits, or how the result is surfaced. The only behavioral fact conveyed is the source-task dependency.

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 sentences, no filler, and the capability is front-loaded before the precondition. Every clause earns its place.

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 6-parameter mutation-style tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers purpose and the required source ID but omits cost/credit implications, output handling (filename/download_dir relationship), and the estimate-only workflow. Adequate but with clear gaps.

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 83%, so the schema already documents index, max_credits, download_dir and estimate_only well; baseline is 3. The description's phrase "completed Veo generation" adds a small amount of meaning to task_id (the task must be finished, not merely submitted), but nothing beyond that.

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 (upscale), resource (Veo 3.1 video) and target outcome (1080p), which implicitly separates it from the sibling veo_upscale_4k. It stops short of naming or contrasting the sibling explicitly, so differentiation is inferable rather than stated.

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?

"Requires taskId from a completed Veo generation" gives one real precondition, which is useful routing information. It never says when to pick this over veo_upscale_4k, or references the estimate_only pre-flight path that the schema recommends for 1080p upgrades.

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