Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| understandB | Understand images and/or videos (multi-URL) with a prompt. Gemini supports mixed image+video in one call; OpenAI/Grok are image-only. |
| generateA | Generate an image or video from a text prompt. Video is async: first call returns job_id; call again with job_id to poll. |
| configB | Server config + credential setup (MERGED). Actions: (setup) setup_status|setup_skip|setup_reset|setup_complete|warmup (relay_status|relay_skip|relay_reset|relay_complete honored as deprecated aliases); (runtime) status|set|cache_clear. Use the config__open_relay tool to open the credential form. |
| helpA | Full documentation. Topics: understand | generate | config. |
| config__open_relayA | Get the relay configuration URL for imagine-mcp, opening it in the user's browser when possible. Returns the relay URL, whether the browser launched, and the current status. |

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
understand and generate are clearly distinct (analysis vs creation), and help is obviously documentation. However, config is heavily overloaded with merged setup/relay/runtime actions, and config__open_relay partially overlaps with config's relay setup actions, creating ambiguity about which tool to use for credential configuration.
understand, generate, help, and config follow a consistent single-word lowercase convention. config__open_relay uses a double-underscore namespace style that deviates from the others but is a predictable way to group config sub-tools.
Five tools is well-scoped for a media understanding/generation server covering the core operations plus docs and config. Each tool earns its place without bloat.
The surface covers analysis, generation, documentation, and configuration for images/videos, which is the core domain. Minor gaps exist around job/asset management beyond polling generate, but core workflows are covered.
