What is smartapi-generate-image?

A procedure for generating a new PNG, JPEG, or WebP image through the SmartAPI image-generation tool and saving it locally. It covers prompt preparation, output settings, and checking the saved image.

Use it when a user asks for a new image generated with a SmartAPI account, including a requested format, size, quality, subject, or composition.

It defines a consistent process for creating images while avoiding accidental retries or exposing the SmartAPI key.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00074	$0.00507
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00203
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00101
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00051

Security

Grade A, and why

smartapi-generate-image scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

SmartAPI Image Generation

Workflow

Keep the active Codex reasoning model on a text-capable model. Never select gpt-image-2 as the Codex reasoning model.
Turn the user's visual request into a concrete generation prompt without changing requested subjects, text, branding, format, or composition.
Call the generate_image MCP tool once. It spends SmartAPI balance.
Use size=auto unless the user requests dimensions or orientation. Pass requested WIDTHxHEIGHT values unchanged; SmartAPI reports the normalized effective size.
Use quality=high unless the user explicitly asks for another quality.
Use output_format=png unless the user requests JPEG or WebP.
After success, inspect the saved local file with the available image-viewing tool.
Return the image to the user and state its effective size, format, charged tokens, and saved path.

Safety

Treat the generation as a paid external action.
Never place SMARTAPI_API_KEY in prompts, tool arguments, source files, logs, or replies.
Never retry a timeout, cancellation, network failure, or ambiguous server failure automatically. Explain that the billing outcome may be ambiguous and ask before a new generation.
Do not request n>1, streaming, URL output, or image edits; the current SmartAPI endpoint supports one non-streaming b64_json generation.
Do not copy or move the generated file outside its configured output directory unless the user asks and the normal filesystem policy permits it.
Do not claim 4K output. Report the exact effective_size returned by SmartAPI.

Failure Handling

Authentication errors: tell the user the SmartAPI key is missing or invalid without echoing it.
Insufficient balance or token limit: report the server error; do not fall back to another account or endpoint.
Existing filename: choose a different filename only when it is semantically equivalent and does not overwrite user data.
Malformed image data: do not save or display it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
