Inspect current model metadata/schema

get_model_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Look up exact fal.ai model catalog details by model_id, expand OpenAPI fields, and inspect native fields when schemas are unavailable. Use this to verify schemas and parameters before generation.

Instructions

Exact current catalog lookup with OpenAPI expansion. No generation or inferred model defaults. Schema may be unavailable; inspect actual native fields.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
accountNoExact configured isolated API-key profile label.
model_idYesExact current catalog endpoint ID. Never guess model names or parameter mappings.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds two genuine behavioral facts beyond that: the schema may be unavailable, and defaults are never generated or inferred. It still omits pagination and return-shape behavior, so it is adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences with no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded. However, the opening clause is dense jargon ('OpenAPI expansion') that costs comprehension without adding clarity, and the phrasing is telegraphic rather than sharp.

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?

With no output schema, the description carries some burden for return values, and 'inspect actual native fields' plus the schema-unavailability caveat partially address that. But it never says what fields come back or how OpenAPI expansion manifests, leaving the agent under-informed for a read-only inspection tool.

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 required model_id and optional account are fully documented in the schema itself. The description adds no syntax, format, or selection detail beyond the schema, matching the baseline for full-coverage parameters.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description frames the tool as an 'Exact current catalog lookup with OpenAPI expansion,' which gestures at retrieving model metadata but never states it plainly as a verb+resource. It offers no differentiation from the sibling search_models, so an agent cannot tell the two apart from the description alone. The title helps, but the description itself is jargon-heavy.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

'No generation or inferred model defaults' hints at a boundary but never states when to use this tool versus search_models or get_pricing. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative. Usage must be inferred from the title.

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