Tools it offers

16 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

• list_formatsList the packaging formats that can be composed, with their printed dimensions. Call this first if you are unsure which format the user wants.
• describe_formatOne format in detail: the printed sheet in px and inches at export DPI, every panel (front, spine, back, flaps…) as a rectangle with its pixel size, and which intent sections the format accepts. Call this BEFORE generati
• list_decalsThe decal catalog: every sticker, graphic, shape and retro distributor mark the designer offers (a title's own posters / logos / stills come from get_content instead), grouped by category, each with its id (what decals[]
• get_contentA movie or TV title's own artwork: every TMDB poster, logo (the wordmark / title art) and backdrop (stills) as a decal id with pixel size and preview URLs, plus title, year, tagline and overview. Place one with decals[].
• search_contentLook up a movie, TV show, or music album by title and return candidate matches with years. Use when the user's title is ambiguous and you want to confirm which one they mean before composing.
• compose_designBuild a label design and return a URL the user opens to finish it. Designing and previewing are free; exporting a print-ready file requires a membership, so present the URL as a starting point the user completes in their
• upload_imagePut an image into the user's Uploads library ("Your Uploads" in every picker) and get back a ref for the images.* fields of compose_design / save_design. Needs an API key with design:write. Send the file as base64 (JPEG/
• list_uploadsThe user's Uploads library, newest first: id, upload:<id> ref, name, pixel size, bytes and an hour-long preview url. Needs an API key with read. Use it to reuse an image already uploaded (identical bytes dedupe anyway) o
• delete_uploadRemove one image from the user's Uploads library by id (from upload_image or list_uploads). Needs an API key with design:write. Saved designs keep their own copies, so this never breaks a design; it only frees a library
• save_designSave a design straight to the user's dashboard and return its link. Takes the SAME fields as compose_design plus a name; needs an API key with design:write. Use it when the user wants the design kept on their account wit
• list_designsThe user's saved designs, newest first, with their links. `total` is how many designs match (the user may have hundreds); page on with `offset` = `nextOffset` until it is null. Filter by `format` (a list_formats slug, e.
• get_designOne saved design by id: name, format, link and its raw design params. Needs an API key with read.
• delete_designDelete one of the user's saved designs (and the image copies it owns). Irreversible — confirm with the user first. Needs an API key with design:write.
• export_designRender a saved design. Queues a job — a headless renderer produces the file in ~15–60 s — and returns a jobId; poll get_export. output 'preview' (every plan) is a downscaled image of the whole sheet that get_export retur
• get_exportStatus of an export job from export_design. When status is done, `file.url` is a download link valid for an hour; a preview job also returns the image itself. Files are kept for a day, then the job reads `expired`.
• get_accountWho the API key belongs to: membership tier, today's remaining agent quotas, saved-design and upload-library counts. Needs an API key (Authorization: Bearer tc_live_…, created at https://vhs.texs.org/en/dashboard?tab=api
