upload_image

Upload a reference image to ComfyUI workflows (img2img, ControlNet, IP-Adapter) by providing a source URL or base64 data. Returns the stored filename for immediate use in image nodes.

Instructions

Upload a reference image to ComfyUI for use in img2img, ControlNet, or IP-Adapter workflows. Accepts either a source URL (will be fetched) or base64-encoded image data. Returns the stored filename for use as 'image' in workflow nodes like LoadImage.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
source_urlNoURL to fetch the image from. One of source_url or image_base64 is required.
image_base64NoBase64-encoded image data (without the data:image/... prefix). One of source_url or image_base64 is required.
filenameNoFilename to save as on the ComfyUI side. Defaults to a timestamped name.
overwriteNoReplace an existing file with the same name
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses that URL will be fetched and returns filename for use in nodes. Lacks details on file size limits, supported formats, or error scenarios.

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 with no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose and usage details, leaving no ambiguity.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Explains return value and workflow context. With no output schema, this is sufficient. Missing file format/ size details, but overall adequate for an agent to invoke correctly.

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 coverage is 100%, so description adds limited value beyond parameter descriptions. It clarifies that URL will be fetched and return value purpose, but parameters are already well-documented.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states 'Upload a reference image to ComfyUI' with specific use cases (img2img, ControlNet, IP-Adapter). Distinguishes from siblings like generate_image by being a preparatory step.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Specifies two input options (URL or base64). Does not explicitly state when not to use, but implicitly it's for image provision before generation workflows.

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