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 →
check_balance Check key limit and usage ~58
Show what this API key has spent and its own spending limit, if it has one. Free. Keys without a limit draw on the account balance, which API keys cannot read; the user sees it at https://apiko.app/dashboard/billing.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
estimate_cost Estimate generation cost ~173
Validate a planned input against the model schema and quote its list price without submitting anything. Free. status "estimated" gives a number; "needs_input" names what is missing (e.g. reference_video_seconds); "token_billed" and "unknown" mean no reliable number exists, so never present them as a price. Show the user the model, input and estimate and wait for explicit approval before calling generate_image or generate_video.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | object | – | Model request fields exactly as listed in get_model input_schema (e.g. {"prompt": "...", "resolution": "2k"}). Leave out model and async. |
| model | string | yes | – |
| reference_video_seconds | number | – | Total length in seconds of all reference_videos, when the input has any; used only for the estimate. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
generate_image Generate or edit an image (billable) ~270
BILLABLE: creates a paid image task charged to the user's APIKO balance. Only call after estimate_cost on the same input and the user's explicit approval of the model and cost. With reference images in input.images it edits (POST /v1/images/edits), otherwise it generates. The input is validated against the model schema first. Runs async when the model supports it and waits up to wait_seconds; if not done, poll with get_task. Never call again to check progress.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| client_request_id | string | – | Your id for this one approved request (8-96 chars of letters, digits, . _ -). Reusing it with the same input returns the earlier task instead of charging twice. |
| input | object | – | Model request fields exactly as listed in get_model input_schema (e.g. {"prompt": "...", "resolution": "2k"}). Leave out model and async. |
| max_cost_usd | number | – | Budget the user approved; the call is refused if the estimate (or its upper bound) is higher or cannot be computed. |
| model | string | yes | Exact image model id. |
| prompt | string | – | Shortcut for input.prompt; give the prompt once. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | Seconds to wait for the result (default 30). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
generate_video Generate a video (billable) ~277
BILLABLE: creates a paid video task (POST /v1/videos) charged per second to the user's APIKO balance. Only call after estimate_cost on the same input and the user's explicit approval of the model, duration, resolution and cost. Reference videos add billed seconds. Returns a task_id at once; poll with get_task (videos take minutes). Never call again to check progress.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| client_request_id | string | – | Your id for this one approved request (8-96 chars of letters, digits, . _ -). Reusing it with the same input returns the earlier task instead of charging twice. |
| input | object | – | Model request fields exactly as listed in get_model input_schema (e.g. {"prompt": "...", "resolution": "2k"}). Leave out model and async. |
| max_cost_usd | number | – | Budget the user approved; the call is refused if the estimate (or its upper bound) is higher or cannot be computed. |
| model | string | yes | Exact video model id. |
| prompt | string | – | Shortcut for input.prompt; give the prompt once. |
| reference_video_seconds | number | – | Total reference video length, for the cost check only; not sent. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | Seconds to wait (default 0; videos take minutes, use get_task). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_model Get APIKO model details ~66
Read one model's request fields (input_schema: types, enums, defaults, required fields), endpoints, async/sync modes and price tiers. Free. Send only fields from input_schema to estimate_cost and the generate tools.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | string | yes | Exact model id from search_models. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_task Get task status and results ~97
Read an image or video task: status (queued, in_progress, completed, failed), progress, result_urls and fail_reason. Free. wait_seconds (0-45, default 30) keeps polling until the task finishes or the time runs out. Failed tasks are refunded automatically. Result links last 24 hours.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| task_id | string | yes | task_id returned by generate_image or generate_video. |
| wait_seconds | integer | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_models Search APIKO models ~122
List the APIKO models this API key can use, with category (image / video / chat), list prices and generation modes. Free. Use it before get_model; never guess model ids. Text models are listed for reference: call them with the OpenAI-compatible API, not through this server.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | string | – | Default "all". |
| limit | integer | – | Default 20. |
| query | string | – | Words that must all appear in the id, name or provider, e.g. "seedance" or "banana 2.1". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
upload_image Upload a reference image ~147
Upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP (up to 10 MB) and get a public https://img.apiko.app URL for reference fields such as images, first_image_url or reference_image_urls. Free (per key: 60 per minute, 1,000 per day). Give exactly one of path (a local file the user named) or url. The uploaded copy is public to anyone with the link and deleted after 72 hours, so only upload files the user asked to use.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | – | Local file path (absolute, ~/..., or relative to the server's working directory). |
| url | string | – | Public http(s) image URL to copy. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
