Deletes or cancels 2Claude Code: deny
delete_designDelete one of the user's saved designs (and the image copies it owns).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "delete_design" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The description says "Irreversible".
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it Delete 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.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Delete a saved design
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
delete_uploadRemove one image from the user's Uploads library by id (from upload_image or list_uploads).No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "delete_upload" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
Description, as the server wrote it Remove 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 slot. Prefer deleting images this session uploaded over ones the user added themselves.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Delete an upload
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: true
- openWorldHint: false
Changes things 4Claude Code: ask
compose_designBuild a label design and return a URL the user opens to finish it.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Description, as the server wrote it Build 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 browser. Fields listed in the response as "unsupported" were NOT applied — tell the user rather than reporting them as done. The user's own artwork goes in through `images` (upload it first with upload_image; needs an API key): `images.background` covers the whole sheet, `images.panels.<key>` one panel each (keys from describe_format), `images.logo` a custom studio logo. `decals` places catalog stickers / shapes / retro marks (ids from list_decals) or the user's uploads anywhere on the sheet, `texts` adds free text blocks, `style.productionLogos` picks the studio marks (`style.productionLogoColorize: 'off'` keeps their own colours), and `layout.hide: ["poster"]` clears the cover art — enough to rebuild a specific vintage cover. Without a key, compose from format + content and tell the user to drag images in after opening the URL.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Compose a design
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
export_designRender a saved design.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
Description, as the server wrote it Render 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 returns INLINE so you can look at it: render one after every save, check the layout, cover art, text sizes and colours against what the user asked for, fix the intent and save again before exporting. 'png' is the Original full-resolution print PNG (600 DPI) and 'pdf' its design-size PDF — members only, and only once the preview looks right. Needs an API key with the export scope.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Export a print file
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
save_designSave a design straight to the user's dashboard and return its link.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "save_design" says "save": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Save 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 without opening a link first. Images are copied into the design (safe to delete from the library afterwards). The preview thumbnail and the frozen content snapshot are captured the first time the owner opens and saves it in the browser — say so.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Save a design
- readOnlyHint: false
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
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.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "upload_image" says "upload": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Put 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/PNG/WebP, at the panel size describe_format reports). SIZE: the request body may not exceed 4.5 MB, so keep the base64 under 3 MB (~2.2 MB of image); a file up to 4 MB goes through POST https://vhs.texs.org/api/v1/uploads as multipart instead — re-encode as JPEG quality 80–85 before either. Identical bytes already in the library return the existing item instead of a copy. The library has a per-plan image count (get_account → uploads); at the ceiling the call answers LIBRARY_IMAGE_LIMIT — call list_uploads and delete_upload to make room.

Why it is in this group
- The name "describe_format" says "describe": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it One 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 generating artwork for a format so each image is made at the right size and aspect.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Describe a format
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
get_accountWho the API key belongs to: membership tier, today's remaining agent quotas, saved-design and upload-library counts.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_account" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Who 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-keys). Call it once to confirm the key works before uploading or saving.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_content" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it A 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[].id in the same intent as the content (e.g. the real wordmark under the cover art, a still on the back) — sized by width like any decal. Ids come from search_content.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get title artwork
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
get_designOne saved design by id: name, format, link and its raw design params.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_design" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it One saved design by id: name, format, link and its raw design params. Needs an API key with read.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Get a saved design
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
get_exportStatus of an export job from export_design.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_export" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Status 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`.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Check an export
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false

Why it is in this group
- The name "list_decals" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it The 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[].id takes), natural pixel size and preview URLs — plus the Classic Logo ids style.productionLogos takes. Call it before placing decals; ids are exact strings, never guessed. Pass a category id to get one category, or a query to search names.
Annotations the server declares
- title: List decals
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
list_designsThe user's saved designs, newest first, with their links.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_designs" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it The 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.g. 'slipcover', 'vhslabels') or `query` (matches the design name or the movie/album title). Needs an API key with read.
Annotations the server declares
- title: List saved designs
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
list_formatsList the packaging formats that can be composed, with their printed dimensions.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_formats" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it List the packaging formats that can be composed, with their printed dimensions. Call this first if you are unsure which format the user wants.
Annotations the server declares
- title: List formats
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
list_uploadsThe user's Uploads library, newest first: id, upload:<id> ref, name, pixel size, bytes and an hour-long preview url.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_uploads" says "list": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it The 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) or to pick what to delete_upload when upload_image answers LIBRARY_IMAGE_LIMIT.
Annotations the server declares
- title: List uploads
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: false
search_contentLook up a movie, TV show, or music album by title and return candidate matches with years.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_content" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Look 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.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Search movies, shows and albums
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- openWorldHint: true
