The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
edit_image ~619
Edit an existing image. Supports Gemini and OpenAI models — pass the model param to choose. Provide the filename of an image in /tmp/Pictures/pixel-surgeon (use list_images to see available files, or save_image to import one first). The MCP reads the file directly — do NOT pass base64 image data.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| aspect_ratio | string | – | Aspect ratio for the output image |
| filename | string | yes | Filename of the source image in /tmp/Pictures/pixel-surgeon (e.g. "2026-03-17T17-47-31-152Z_59f735df.png") |
| image_size | string | – | Output image resolution |
| model | string | – | Model to use. Available: 'gemini-3.1-flash-image' (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), 'gemini-2.5-flash-image' (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), 'gpt-image-1' (GPT Image 1 (OpenAI)), 'gpt-image-2' (GPT Image 2 (OpenAI… |
| prompt | string | yes | Text prompt describing the edits to make to the image |
| style | string | – | Optional style preset to apply. When set, the style's prompt prefix is prepended and its default aspect ratio is used (unless you explicitly set one). Available styles: • neo-brutalist — Neo-brutali… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fix_image ~323
Fix an image that has glitched or garbled text by splitting it into tiles, re-rendering each tile, and stitching them back together. This works because smaller sections have less text for the model to handle at once. Use this when a generated image has text artifacts or overloaded text regions.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | string | yes | Filename of the source image in /tmp/Pictures/pixel-surgeon |
| grid | string | – | How to split the image: cols x rows |

| prompt | string | – | Instructions for fixing each tile |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fix_region ~386
Fix a specific region of an image by cropping it out, sending it for repair, and reinserting it. The crop is automatically snapped to the nearest supported aspect ratio. Use this when only part of an image has glitched text or artifacts — more precise than fix_image's grid approach.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | string | yes | Filename of the source image in /tmp/Pictures/pixel-surgeon |
| height | number | yes | Height of region as percentage of image height (1-100) |

| prompt | string | – | Instructions for fixing the selected region |
| width | number | yes | Width of region as percentage of image width (1-100) |
| x | number | yes | Left edge of region as percentage of image width (0-100) |
| y | number | yes | Top edge of region as percentage of image height (0-100) |

generate_video ~135
Generate a video using Google's Veo 3. Returns an MP4 video file. Video generation takes 1-3 minutes — the tool will poll until complete. Veo 3 generates both video and ambient audio. Videos are saved to the shared directory and viewable in the browser viewer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| aspect_ratio | string | – | Aspect ratio — 16:9 for landscape, 9:16 for portrait/vertical |
| duration | string | – | Video duration in seconds |
| prompt | string | yes | Text prompt describing the video to generate. Be descriptive about motion, camera angles, lighting, and scene details for best results. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
interactive_fix ~300
Opens an image in a browser-based crop tool where the user can draw a rectangle around the region to fix, add notes/instructions, and submit. The tool waits for the user's selection, then sends the cropped region for repair and composites it back into the original image. Best for precise, user-guided fixes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | string | yes | Filename of the source image in /tmp/Pictures/pixel-surgeon |
| image_size | string | – | Resolution for the cropped region |
