Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
krita_statusA

Discover reachable Krita bridges, exact versions, capabilities and queue health. No document changes.

krita_list_documentsB

List live document handles and active-view status in the selected instance.

krita_inspect_documentC

Inspect document dimensions, color space, editability and layer UUIDs.

krita_diffusion_statusA

Discover an already loaded Krita AI Diffusion plugin and report integration availability. Does not load plugins or connect to a backend.

krita_inspect_diffusion_documentA

Read existing AI Diffusion metadata for the explicit document. Does not create diffusion models, change settings, or generate images.

krita_list_diffusion_jobsA

Read a bounded page of existing AI Diffusion job metadata for the document. Does not submit, cancel, or apply jobs.

krita_list_diffusion_stylesA

List available AI Diffusion styles and their handles without changing the current style.

krita_configure_diffusionA

Persist specified Generate settings without starting a job. Omitted fields stay unchanged. Requires the pinned add-on and active document; style changes require its local backend. Generation requests still supply their own root prompts/strength/seed and request one image. Reuse operation_id on retries; no guaranteed undo.

krita_set_diffusion_controlsA

Replace the root or single-linked region's entire conditioning list; [] clears it. Entries reference existing image layers, with mode, strength 0..2 in steps of 0.02, and 0<=start<=end<=1. Does not generate control maps or images. Inspect is_supported before generation. Requires active Generate document. Reuse operation_id; no guaranteed undo.

krita_set_diffusion_regionA

Create/update a prompt region linked directly to an existing paint/group layer, or remove that region and its controls without deleting artwork. A prompt is required unless removing. Rejects ambiguous/multiple links. Requires active Generate document. Reuse operation_id; no guaranteed undo.

krita_generate_diffusionA

Submit one image through the active document's existing AI Diffusion model and local backend. Inherits canvas selection, regions and controls; strength below 1 refines the canvas. Reuse operation_id on retries. Poll generation_id separately; completion does not automatically apply pixels.

krita_get_diffusion_generationA

Poll a bridge-owned generation and obtain stable result handles. Job progress belongs to the add-on; a queued job is not proof of backend admission.

krita_get_diffusion_resultA

Inspect a bridge-owned generated image as an inline PNG without selecting its preview or changing canvas layers. Result handles expire when the add-on removes their images.

krita_apply_diffusion_resultA

Apply an inspected bridge-owned result to its original active document as a new top paint layer at the generation bounds. Reuse operation_id on retries; does not replace layers or resize the canvas.

krita_get_previewA

Return a settled canvas as an inline PNG with coordinate and color metadata. A pending response can be polled.

krita_get_region_previewA

Inspect a settled rectangular canvas crop as an inline PNG with image-space offsets. Region must be in canvas and at most 16 megapixels; output edge is at most 1024. Poll pending previews with krita_get_operation.

krita_activate_documentA

Activate an existing view of the explicit document so native painting can target it. Changes the user's active canvas. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_clear_selectionB

Clear the explicit document's selection. No guaranteed undo transaction. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_set_selectionA

Replace or combine the selection with a bounded rectangle or polygon in image pixels. Rectangle requires only x/y/width/height; polygon requires only 3–256 integer points. Selection bounds must fit the canvas and 16 megapixels. No guaranteed undo transaction.

krita_open_documentA

Open a bounded local KRA, PNG or JPEG file from a configured input root and attach an active view. Path must be relative to the named root. Reuse operation_id to avoid duplicate opens after a timeout.

krita_import_image_layerA

Import a bounded PNG or JPEG under a configured input root as a new paint layer at an explicit pixel offset. Image must fit the supported RGBA/U8/sRGB destination; no guaranteed undo transaction. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_create_file_layerA

Create a linked PNG/JPEG file layer from a configured input root. Krita watches the source; keep it available. Supports no scaling or fit to image, with Bicubic filtering. No guaranteed undo. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_set_file_layerA

Replace a file layer's linked PNG/JPEG source and scaling, using a configured input root. Uses Bicubic filtering. Source must remain available; no guaranteed undo. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_create_documentA

Create a bounded RGBA/U8/sRGB document with an active view (maximum 16 megapixels). Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_create_paint_layerA

Create one named paint layer in an explicit document; return its node UUID.

krita_set_layer_propertiesA

Set paint/group/mask/file/vector-layer name, visibility, or opacity in [0,1]; paint/group/file/vector-layer blend mode and alpha inheritance; paint-layer alpha lock. No guaranteed undo transaction or atomic multi-property rollback. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_copy_layerA

Copy a supported paint layer into an explicit destination document. Omitted parent means document root; above_node_id selects a sibling to insert above. Returns the new node handle. No guaranteed undo transaction. Reuse operation_id to avoid duplicate copies.

krita_transform_layerA

Resample one supported RGBA/U8/sRGB paint layer: scale then clockwise rotate around an explicit image-pixel pivot, then translate. This rewrites raster pixels with no guaranteed undo transaction; it is not a native transform mask. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_move_layerA

Reorder a paint layer or group within its document; rejects cycles and locked/animated subtrees. Omitted parent means document root; above_node_id selects a sibling to insert above. Changes stacking order without translating pixels. No guaranteed undo transaction. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_list_brush_presetsB

Search and paginate the current instance's brush preset handles.

krita_paint_pathA

Paint one native brush path in image pixels. Requires the target's active view; no per-point pressure. Reuse the same operation_id for retries.

krita_paint_bezier_pathA

Paint one native cubic Bézier path with 1–256 segments in image pixels. Each segment is [control1, control2, endpoint], each a coordinate pair. Requires the target's active view; no per-point pressure. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_paint_lineB

Paint one native line with integer image coordinates and endpoint pressures. Each call is a separate native stroke.

krita_save_documentA

Save editable .kra work under a configured output root. Path is relative; replacing an existing file requires overwrite=true.

krita_export_pngC

Export a separate PNG under a configured output root while preserving the document's filename association.

krita_get_operationA

Reconcile a pending or uncertain operation. Read state/effect separately: failure does not prove no changes occurred.

krita_cancel_operationA

Cancel queued bridge work atomically. For running work this records intent; it cannot stop Krita or cancel a submitted AI Diffusion backend job.

krita_create_group_layerA

Create a group at the top of the explicit parent (document root by default). Returns its handle. Reuse operation_id on retries; no guaranteed undo grouping.

krita_create_transparency_maskA

Attach a transparency mask to an explicit paint/group layer, using a copy of the selection or constant canvas opacity. Preserves the canvas selection. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_set_transparency_maskA

Replace an existing transparency mask's coverage with a selection copy or constant canvas opacity. Reuse operation_id; no guaranteed undo transaction.

krita_delete_layerA

Delete the explicit paint/group/mask node and its bounded subtree. Rejects locked/animated descendants and the last top-level layer. Returns removed handles. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_merge_layer_downA

Merge a visible, nonanimated paint layer with the adjacent paint layer below it. Requires no masks/children or alpha inheritance on either. Returns the resulting handle after native completion. Reuse operation_id.

krita_edit_historyA

Perform exactly one enabled native undo/redo step on the active document, then await completion. History includes user edits and is not scoped to bridge operations. Reuse operation_id to avoid stepping twice after timeout.

krita_modify_selectionA

Refine an existing selection and clip the result to the canvas. Grow/shrink/feather require radius in pixels; invert forbids radius. Reuse operation_id; no guaranteed undo transaction.

krita_transform_canvasA

Transform the entire document, bounded to 8192 per side/16 MP. Crop/resize require x,y,width,height; resize uses the new canvas rectangle in old image coordinates. Scale requires width,height and optional filter. Rotate requires degrees; flip requires axis and active document. Rejects unrelated fields and locked/animated nodes. Reuse operation_id.

krita_paint_shapeA

Paint one native rectangle/ellipse with explicit brush settings and optional solid foreground fill. Requires active document, pixel brush and no selection. Restores brush context, waits for native completion. Reuse operation_id.

krita_fill_layerA

Raster source-over fill or destination-out erase on a simple RGBA/U8/sRGB paint layer, limited to 1 MP and masked by the current selection. Erase forbids color and uses opacity/selection coverage. Other modes require color. Linear gradient needs end_color/start/end; flood needs point and matches exact layer BGRA with four-connected neighbors. No brush simulation, tolerance, or guaranteed undo. Reuse operation_id.

krita_get_layer_previewA

Return an inline PNG of the explicit layer/group projection within canvas bounds. Requires RGBA/U8/standard sRGB; preserves visibility and active layer. Other layers are excluded.

krita_sample_colorA

Read one settled RGBA/U8/sRGB projection pixel from the canvas or explicit node. Returns hex color and alpha without changing foreground color.

krita_inspect_brushA

Inspect the active document view's brush preset name, size, opacity, flow, rotation, blending, eraser, alpha lock, pressure and foreground color without changing them. Use list_brush_presets for painting handles.

krita_create_vector_layerA

Create a native editable vector layer in the active document, optionally inside a group. Reuse operation_id on retries; no guaranteed undo grouping.

krita_inspect_vector_layerA

Inspect up to 256 top-level vector shapes and pixel bounds. Returns a layer-state snapshot_id plus shape_index addresses, not persistent shape IDs. Reinspect after edits; identical restored states share a snapshot.

krita_add_vector_shapeA

Add an editable rectangle, ellipse, polygon or cubic Bezier shape in image pixels. Solid sRGB fill/stroke or none; active view required. Reinspect for a shape address. Reuse operation_id on retries.

krita_edit_vector_shapeA

Edit one top-level path shape using an unchanged layer snapshot. Scale then clockwise rotate about image origin then translate in pixels, composed after its existing transform. Groups/text/protected shapes rejected. Active view required; no guaranteed undo. Reuse operation_id.

krita_delete_vector_shapeA

Delete one unprotected top-level path shape from an unchanged layer snapshot in the active document. Reuse operation_id; inspect after completion.

krita_merge_vector_layer_downA

Merge into the immediately lower sibling vector layer, preserving editable paths and stacking. Requires active view, visible full-opacity normal layers without masks/alpha inheritance, and unprotected visible path shapes. Source is removed after copying; no atomic undo. Reuse operation_id.
