Supported Tools
upload_media
Upload Media
Submit source file URLs to Placid's media endpoint and return any hosted URLs it accepts. URL submission is a legacy operation; current documentation specifies binary uploads, so URL acceptance is unverified. Hosted URLs can be used in picture layers when generating images, PDFs, or videos.
generate_video
Generate Video
Generate a video from one or more Placid templates used as clips. Each clip is a template populated with dynamic layer data including text, images, and video files. Clips are merged sequentially. Supports audio tracks, frame rate control, and resolution settings. The generated video can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
manage_collections
Manage Collections
List, retrieve, create, update, or delete template collections. Collections organize templates into groups for easier management. You can add or remove templates from collections.
get_generation_status
Get Generation Status
Check the status of a previously queued image, PDF, or video generation. Returns the current status and the output URL when generation is complete.
generate_image
Generate Image
Generate an image from a Placid template by populating its dynamic layers with data. Supports text, images, shapes, browser screenshots, barcodes/QR codes, and ratings. The generated image can optionally be transferred to S3-compatible storage. Use `createNow` for synchronous generation or poll the returned status for async results.
manage_templates
Manage Templates
List, retrieve, create, update, or delete Placid design templates. Templates define reusable layouts with dynamic layers that can be populated with data during image, PDF, or video generation.
generate_pdf
Generate PDF
Generate a PDF document from one or more Placid templates used as pages. Each page is a template populated with dynamic layer data. Pages are merged in the order provided. Supports output customization for DPI, color mode, and image quality. The generated PDF can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
merge_pdfs
Merge PDFs
Merge multiple existing PDF files into a single PDF document. Useful for combining static PDFs (e.g., cover pages) with Placid-generated content. The merged PDF can be transferred to S3-compatible storage.
delete_generation
Delete Generation
Permanently delete a generated image, PDF, or video from Placid using its generation ID.
