## MCP tools (3)

### `list_media_models` (~79 tokens)

List Chutes media models

List available Chutes media-generation models (image / video / music / speech), optionally filtered by kind or a free-text query. Use this to discover a model, then call describe_media_model before generate_media.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string): Free-text filter on the model name.

Output parameters:

- `count` (integer)
- `models` (array)

### `describe_media_model` (~88 tokens)

Describe a Chutes media model

Fetch a model's live cords and input schemas so you can compose a valid request. ALWAYS call this before generate_media for an unfamiliar model. Returns every cord (e.g. generate, and img2img/inpaint when present) with its required fields, types, defaults and a minimal example payload.

Input parameters:

- `model` (string, required): Model name/slug, e.g. owner/model-slug.

Output parameters:

- `cords` (array)
- `invokeBaseUrl` (string)
- `kind` (string)
- `model` (string)
- `supportsEditing` (boolean)
- `tagline` (string)

### `generate_media` (~188 tokens)

Generate media with Chutes

Run a generation and save the asset into the workspace. `params` is the payload you composed from describe_media_model. For editing, `params` may reference workspace file paths (e.g. image, mask) which the server reads and encodes. The asset is saved under output_dir (default ./assets/chutes/<kind>/) and the saved path is returned. Long video/music jobs block with progress updates.

Input parameters:

- `cord` (string): Operation/cord (e.g. img2img); defaults to the primary one.
- `filename` (string)
- `kind` (string, required)
- `model` (string, required)
- `output_dir` (string): Output directory relative to CWD.
- `overwrite` (boolean): Explicitly replace an existing asset and sidecar.
- `params` (object, required): Payload matching the cord's input schema.
- `timeout_ms` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `bytes` (integer)
- `contentType` (string)
- `cord` (string)
- `cost` (number)
- `durationMs` (number)
- `kind` (string)
- `model` (string)
- `path` (string)
- `provenancePath` (string)
- `schemaHash` (string)
