131 tools

• lab_list_projects

  List FilmLab projects (id, title, current pipeline stage). Call this first to find a project_id for the other tools. Shows up to 20 items; `total` counts your active projects (up to 200) and `truncated: true` means the list is cut off — sorted by last change, so older projects…

• lab_wissen

  Use when the person asks a film-craft question: what a term means, which rule or convention applies, how something is usually done in camera, editing, sound or production — answer from here, not from memory. Ask the FilmOS knowledge layer — measured craft knowledge from vetted…

• lab_widerruf

  Record a correction in the FilmOS knowledge layer when the user contradicts something you asserted from it. Use this the moment a contradiction is stated — not at the end of the session, and not instead of accepting the correction in your answer. It stores the claim AND what is…

• lab_playbook

  The rules of one working surface, generated from the code: what the surface is, what an agent can trigger itself, what exists but only by hand, and what does not exist at all. Call this BEFORE answering what is possible on a surface — the three lists come from a table with a…

• lab_list_models

  The model catalog: what every video or image model can do — resolutions, durations, aspect ratios, audio, reference limits, price per second or per image — grouped by capability class with a one-line explanation per group. Read this before choosing a `tool` for…

• lab_regie_techniken

  Use when the person asks HOW to stage or shoot a feeling or effect (which angle, movement, framing or light makes a scene feel tense, tender, triumphant, uneasy) or wants directing options for a shot. Directing techniques: camera angle, framing, composition, movement, lighting…

• lab_whoami

  Who is connected: the FilmLab account (email, user id, name, tier, credits) and how this connection signed in (oauth, oauth_geraet, bridge_key, legacy service user, or anonym). For a device sign-in it also lists the device limits (projects, credits, end date). Call it when…

• lab_get_state

  One call, the whole picture: account (tier, credits, reset), default models with price, jobs in flight, catalog freshness, project count. Pass project_id for that project's sequences, assets and review-queue length. Read-only, free.

• lab_get_project

  Use when the person asks where a project stands: its current stage, what is finished, what comes next, or wants the project's state before continuing. Get a single FilmLab project with its full stage state, including its `datenmodus` ('eu' or 'frei'). Needs the project_id (from…

• lab_zielgruppe

  Read or set a project's audience (zielgruppe) and target markets (zielmaerkte). With project_id only: read. Set zielgruppe 'kinder' or 'jugendliche' whenever the project is made for children, families or teenagers — do it BEFORE creating characters or generating. That switches…

• lab_look_in_post

  Read or set a project's 'look in post' flag. Use it when the person grades in DaVinci Resolve with the FilmLab Look plugin and wants the lens and film look applied there instead of baked into the generated pictures. With project_id only: read. With look_in_post true, image and…

• lab_get_context

  Read the accumulated context/output for one pipeline module of a project (e.g. the IDEE, STORYBOARD or SHOTS stage). Needs project_id and module name.

• lab_get_job

  Get the status of a background job by job_id (status is queued|processing|done|failed). Poll this after starting a long-running generate/export. Returns the job record; its payload and result are objects (for a clip chain: result.zusammenfassung, result.ketten, result.clips)…

• lab_search_catalog

  Search the FilmLab universe catalog of AI tools, news and companies. Query must be at least 2 characters. Returns up to 20 matches with a total count.

• lab_create_project

  Create a new FilmLab project. Returns the new project id and its `datenmodus`. Optionally set a title and the data mode: 'eu' keeps the project on models whose data path is proven inside the EU (lab_list_models eu: true lists them; other models are refused with alternatives)…

• lab_run_module

  Run ONE pipeline module for a project (context is injected from upstream modules + crew agents). SYNCHRONOUS and LLM-heavy: light modules return in seconds; heavy ones can exceed ~55s and then time out (504) — run those in the FilmLab web app instead. Pass an invalid module name…

• lab_generate

  Generate an image on the production pipeline (fal.ai, quota-tracked, persisted to the project's gallery). Waits up to `wait_s` seconds (default 45) for the image and then answers with the finished rows — image_url set, inline previews attached, so the picture is in the answer…

• lab_animate

  Animate a completed image into a clip with a video model. Pick the model from lab_list_models; check the price with get_cost or let the user confirm a card via lab_propose. Costs credits when called without get_cost.

• lab_animate_batch

  Animate MANY images into videos in ONE call (max 25 jobs). Prefer this over looping lab_animate: it validates every job BEFORE spending any quota, so an invalid job 12 of 15 does not leave 11 paid-for generations running. Quota is spent once, collectively (one ledger row)…

• lab_propose

  Propose a generation for the user to confirm: validates the parameters against the catalog, computes the price, and shows a card (widget hosts) or returns the same object as text. NOTHING runs until lab_run_proposal is called with the returned vorschlag_id — by the card's…

• lab_run_proposal

  Run a proposal exactly as shown — same model, same parameters, same price. Called by the card's button, or by you after the user confirmed. Single use: the proposal is consumed BEFORE the run, so a second call is refused instead of paying twice. Valid 15 minutes, for the account…

• lab_list_locations

  List location boards, newest first — START HERE to find a `location_id` for lab_generate / lab_animate. Each entry carries its `prompt_prefix_en`: that is the exact text appended to your prompt as 'Location: …', so you can judge whether the board fits BEFORE spending quota. A…

• lab_get_location

  Get ONE location board in full — all descriptive fields plus its reference images and `prompt_prefix_en`. Use it to check what a board actually anchors before generating with it.

• lab_list_project_locations

  Location boards bound to ONE project. Narrower and more correct than lab_list_locations when you already know the project: it cannot leak boards from a different project with the same title. Boards created before the project binding existed (project_id NULL) deliberately do NOT…

• lab_list_props

  List the props (Requisiten) of this project, including @prop_ tags, descriptions and generated views. Free. Use the tags in image and video prompts; a prop reaches the shot as text, its reference images are not sent.

• lab_create_prop

  Create a named prop (Requisite) in this project. Free, no model call: its prompt prefix is built deterministically from the fields. Returns its @prop_ tag for shot prompts. To generate views use lab_prop_ansichten separately (costs credits).

• lab_prop_ansichten

  Generate product-photo views of a prop using Flux 2 Pro. Costs credits per view: front is text-to-image, side/back/top/detail edit the front anchor. First call with get_cost:true, name the exact credits to the person, and obtain confirmation before generating. Missing images are…

• lab_create_location

  Create a location board. The backend derives an English `prompt_prefix_en` from the fields you give — that prefix is what later anchors every image and clip shot there, so the richer the description, the more consistent the place. Pass project_id to bind the board to a project…

• lab_generate_location_variants

  Generate time-of-day reference images for a location board (costs credits per variant — check the price with get_cost first). Without `variants` the backend renders all four. The images are what makes a board usable as a visual reference.

• lab_enrich_location_prefix

  Append context to a board's `prompt_prefix_en` (plain string concatenation server-side — no AI call, no quota). Idempotent: context already present in the prefix is not duplicated. This does NOT rewrite or regenerate the prefix — for a board whose prefix is empty, too thin or a…

• lab_restyle_location

  Restyle an existing board towards a wish (costs credits — exact price via get_cost: true) — same place, different look, e.g. 'the same flat, twenty years later'. Changes the board itself, so images generated afterwards follow the new style. Also the repair path for a board whose…

• lab_location_panorama

  Generate a 360° equirectangular HDRI panorama of a place (costs credits — exact price via get_cost: true). Pass loc_id to persist it on that board, so the viewer finds it again; without loc_id it is a one-off.

• lab_welt

  Build a walkable 3D WORLD (Gaussian splat, World Labs Marble) from ONE location picture (costs credits — exact price via get_cost: true). Source: a location board's time variant (loc_id + variante) OR a gallery image of the project (quell_bild_id). stufe 'entwurf' is a cheap…

• lab_welt_status

  Status of a world from lab_welt: processing | completed | failed. When completed, `studio` is the link to walk it and save angles (free). A failed world has been refunded. Read-only, free. Pass wait_s (up to 15) to wait inside the call.

• lab_analyze_location_image

  Read a photo and extract location fields from it (Gemini Vision, costs credits — exact price via get_cost: true). Returns the fields — it does NOT create a board; feed the result into lab_create_location yourself. Note the payload: the image travels as base64 inside the call, so…

• lab_delete_location

  DELETE a location board permanently. There is no undo and no soft-archive — the row is removed. Images and clips that were generated with this `location_id` keep their already-rendered prompt, but the board they point at is gone: nothing can be re-anchored to it, and…

• lab_list_characters

  List the character sheets in the FilmLab cast register (id, name, age, gender, project_name, prompt_prefix_en). Call this BEFORE lab_generate whenever a person must look the same across several images: pass the id you find here as `character_refs` instead of re-describing the…

• lab_get_character

  Get ONE character sheet in full — every descriptive field plus the three that decide what you can do with it. `prompt_prefix_en` is the text block describing this person; it is what the backend prepends wherever the sheet is used. `reference_images` decides whether the sheet is…

• lab_create_character

  Create a character sheet for a human, animal or creature in the cast register. The backend derives an English `prompt_prefix_en` from the fields you give — that prefix is what later describes this character in every image, so the richer the description, the more stable the…

• lab_generate_character_reference

  Generate the reference sheet for a character — six core views rendered from the sheet's `prompt_prefix_en`: detail (three-quarter close-up, the identity anchor), frontal (frontal close-up), profile, fullbody (front), fullbody_back (back view: hair and the back of the costume)…
