Core concepts

Understand the account, connector, tools, models and jobs before your first run.

On this page

Your account

The hosted account owns your credits, generations and temporary upload sessions. Connecting an agent authorizes it to act on that account. Do not paste account keys, login codes or storage credentials into shared chats.

Connector and public skill

The MCP connector exposes callable tools. The public skill explains how to use them together. Installing a skill alone does not establish the authenticated connector connection.

Tools and models

A tool is an action such as generating an image, quoting a request or checking a job. A model is the provider-backed engine used for that action. Video modes determine whether the input is a text prompt, a starting frame or references.

Asynchronous jobs

Generation returns a job ID before the media is finished. Poll that ID with get_run_status. Keep the original ID through delays and status errors; creating a new request can create another paid run.

Quotes and credits

A quote estimates the intended request. The account balance is a snapshot, not a reservation. Generation performs the final credit checks. Connection checks, quotes and temporary uploads do not grant credits.
