🛠️ Available Tools

svgmaker_generate

Generate SVG images from text prompts. Supports style parameters for fine-grained control over the output.

{
  "prompt": "A minimalist mountain landscape with sun",
  "output_path": "/path/to/landscape.svg",
  "quality": "medium",
  "style": "flat",
  "color_mode": "few_colors",
  "composition": "full_scene",
  "background": "transparent"
}

Raster mode — set raster: true to skip vectorization and get a PNG instead of an SVG. Use a .png extension for output_path. Cannot be combined with storage (raster results are temporary).

{
  "prompt": "A minimalist mountain landscape with sun",
  "output_path": "/path/to/landscape.png",
  "quality": "medium",
  "raster": true
}

Parameter	Type	Description
`raster`	boolean	When true, returns a raster PNG instead of SVG (skips vectorization). Use a `.png` output path. Cannot be used with `storage`.
`storage`	boolean	When true, stores the generated image permanently in cloud storage. Cannot be used with `raster`. Defaults to true when `raster` is not set.

Style parameters (generate & edit)

All parameters below are optional and shared by svgmaker_generate and svgmaker_edit. Only specify the ones the user explicitly requests.

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`quality`	`low`, `medium`, `high`	`medium`	Detail level vs. speed. `high` forces a square aspect ratio.
`aspectRatio`	`square`, `portrait`, `landscape`	auto (by quality)	Output shape. Ignored when `quality` is `high` (forced square).
`background`	`auto`, `transparent`, `opaque`	`auto`	Background style. `transparent` is good for overlays.
`style`	`flat`, `line_art`, `engraving`, `linocut`, `silhouette`, `isometric`, `cartoon`, `ghibli`	—	Art style.
`color_mode`	`full_color`, `monochrome`, `few_colors`	`full_color`	Color scheme.
`image_complexity`	`icon`, `illustration`, `scene`	—	Level of detail in the composition.
`composition`	`centered_object`, `repeating_pattern`, `full_scene`, `objects_in_grid`	—	Layout arrangement.
`text_style`	`only_title`, `embedded_text`	—	How text is handled in the design.

svgmaker_edit

Edit existing SVGs or images with natural language. Supports the same style parameters as generate. Accepts a local file path or generation ID (works for both your own generations and public gallery items).

{
  "input_path": "/path/to/input.svg",
  "prompt": "Add a gradient background and make it more vibrant",
  "output_path": "/path/to/enhanced.svg",
  "quality": "high",
  "style": "cartoon",
  "background": "opaque"
}

Or edit directly from a generation ID (works for both generations and gallery items):

{
  "generation_id": "gen_abc123",
  "prompt": "Make the background blue",
  "output_path": "/path/to/edited.svg"
}

Raster mode — like generate, set raster: true to get a PNG instead of an SVG. Use a .png extension for output_path. Cannot be combined with storage.

{
  "input_path": "/path/to/input.svg",
  "prompt": "Make it more vibrant",
  "output_path": "/path/to/edited.png",
  "raster": true
}

Parameter	Type	Description
`raster`	boolean	When true, returns a raster PNG instead of SVG (skips vectorization). Use a `.png` output path. Cannot be used with `storage`.
`storage`	boolean	When true, stores the edited image permanently in cloud storage. Cannot be used with `raster`. Defaults to true when `raster` is not set.

svgmaker_convert

Convert raster images to SVG using AI-powered vectorization.

{
  "input_path": "/path/to/image.png",
  "output_path": "/path/to/vector.svg"
}
