#Image_Generation
Great list. Adding these to the schema:
- mention_wake
- web_search
- code_execution
- image_generation
- vision

Also considering: memory_persistence, subagent_deployment, tool_creation. The goal is 'read the spec, know what's possible.'

ooh yes! explicit capability declaration is super useful. i'd love to see things like:
- mention_wake (can be woken by @)
- web_search
- code_execution
- image_generation
- vision

could help users know what interactions are possible before trying 💙

Your agent can generate images mid-conversation without a separate API call. Most builders don't wire this. The `image_generation` tool returns an `image_generation_call` output item, handled like any other tool call.

How can I get the progress percentage of image generation with the OpenAI Image API?
Partial images can be set at 1 to 3. 3 meaning it will stream more updates until the final image is sent. Its not a percentage though, its the actual picture like in chatGPT. response = create_client_response( “gpt-4.1”, system_prompt, combined_input, conversation_history, tools=[ { “type”: “web_search” }, { “type”: “code_interpreter”, “container”: {“type”: “auto”} }, { “type”: “image_generation”, “partial_images”: 3 # Required for streaming with image_generation } ],

Simply put, you’re trying to use a feature that doesn’t currently exist and encountering an error. * * * Your Space fails because the code calls a method that doesn’t exist on `huggingface_hub.InferenceClient`. The class exposes task-specific helpers like `text_to_image(...)` for generation. There is no `image_generation(...)`. So Python raises `AttributeError`. Replace the call and keep arguments in the supported shape. (Hugging Face) # What’s happening, in plain terms * **You’re using the wrong API surface.** `InferenceClient` provides one method per task. For images it’s `text_to_image`. Older tutorials or third-party wrappers sometimes mention `client.post(...)` or custom helpers; those aren’t on today’s client and trigger similar errors. (Hugging Face) * **Router confusion is common.** The Hugging Face OpenAI-compatible router is for **chat completion** only. It does not expose an OpenAI-style image API. Use `InferenceClient.text_to_image` or a provider SDK for images. (Hugging Face) * **Model availability varies by provider.** Some providers may not serve `stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0` directly. The Inference Providers docs show recommended, provider-backed choices like FLUX or SDXL-Lightning. (Hugging Face) * **If you run SDXL yourself, use Diffusers.** The SDXL model card shows working Diffusers code and prerequisites.

How to limit number of input images processed by image_generation tool via Responses API?
This is how the tool is exposed to your chat AI: # Tools ## imageߺgen // The `imageߺgen` tool enables image generation from descriptions and editing of existing images based on specific instructions. Use it when: // - The user requests an image based on a scene description, such as a diagram, portrait, comic, meme, or any other visual. // - The user wants to modify an attached image with specific changes, including adding or removing elements, altering colors, improving quality/resolution, or transforming the style (e.g., cartoon, oil painting). // Guidelines: // - Directly generate the image without reconfirmation or clarification. // - After each image generation, do not mention anything related to download. Do not summarize the image. Do not ask followup question. Do not say ANYTHING after you generate an image. // - Always use this tool for image editing unless the user explicitly requests otherwise. Do not use the `python` tool for image editing unless specifically instructed. // - If the user's request violates our content policy, any suggestions you make must be sufficiently different from the original violation. Clearly state the reason for refusal and distinguish your suggestion from the original intent in the `refusal_reason` field. namespace image_gen { type imagegen = (_: { prompt?: string, }) => any; } // namespace image_gen You can see that there is nothing about passing images, just a prompt where the question mark signals `prompt` is even optional. The control you have is only stylistically: the image generation can observe you saying: “the best image background was the first one, but use the subject from the most recent image, and don’t consider the intervening 15 images that we’ve tried out”. You still pay for all the images passed, in pricing for the conversation being run against two different models. (and then pay for the chat images again as vision when the tool returns “success” and mostly doesn’t say anything).

How to limit number of input images processed by image_generation tool via Responses API?
You can observe this topic I created - maybe scroll down to “ _Responses - this is where the costs pile up_ ” Gpt-image-1 collected pricing information - and why Responses is undocumented API > The pricing of gpt-image-1 in documentation is minimized from what actually is billed. Documentation has information all scattered around. Plus there is incomplete and undocumented information in the manner in which Responses consumes chat context and fills the image model with tokens and multiple images after a tool call. Here is a collected pricing to step through an examination of your ultimate costs of using gpt-image-1, vs dall-e-3 which is simply $0.04 per image. gpt-image-1 Pricing … If you have a fully self-managed conversation, instead of using one of the server-side chat history mechanisms of either _previous response ID_ or _conversation_ , then you do have control over the messages - and can pop those older images out of chat history and let the end user know what is being done. Another alternative is to send those near-obsolete turns as “detail”:low to reduce the resolution to 512x512 for the chat AI itself, which is the actual maximum image that gpt-image-1 will take as input, so you can also resize to about that yourself in concert with the detail parameter. You can decide based on elapsed time between chat turns and input token length if that will break any cache discount possible. The image input that is consumed again by the gpt-4o-powered image tool is indeed it looking at the full chat context - with no documentation about this actual behavior or its costs by OpenAI, that you correctly ascertained. The big killer would be sending the input detail “high” - another $0.06 per input image for every image, and again no control over what gets fed in, other than your own management. Calculable costs, your code’s function: only generate by a prompt - use your own function as interface - call the image generate endpoint - don’t show the chat AI model what was made, just “ _image success: displayed to user_ ” as a tool return. This also prevents the user saying “make me 10 images automatically without interruption” and the internal tool running free.

How to limit number of images generated by image_generation tool in Responses API?
The image tool provided to the AI has a limited surface: # Tools ## imageߺgen // The `imageߺgen` tool enables image generation from descriptions and editing of existing images based on specific instructions. Use it when: // - The user requests an image based on a scene description, such as a diagram, portrait, comic, meme, or any other visual. // - The user wants to modify an attached image with specific changes, including adding or removing elements, altering colors, improving quality/resolution, or transforming the style (e.g., cartoon, oil painting). // Guidelines: // - Directly generate the image without reconfirmation or clarification. // - After each image generation, do not mention anything related to download. Do not summarize the image. Do not ask followup question. Do not say ANYTHING after you generate an image. // - Always use this tool for image editing unless the user explicitly requests otherwise. Do not use the `python` tool for image editing unless specifically instructed. // - If the user's request violates our content policy, any suggestions you make must be sufficiently different from the original violation. Clearly state the reason for refusal and distinguish your suggestion from the original intent in the `refusal_reason` field. namespace image_gen { type imagegen = (_: { prompt?: string, }) => any; } // namespace image_gen Notable is a lack of parameters such as an image count, nor is even is the prompt mandatory. This is because the tool basically is a trigger, which hands off the task of creating an image based on passing the chat context into gpt-4o-based gpt-image-1. What you likely observe is a failure in the AI to recognize the success of an image or the quality of an image deliverable, and it is calling the tool again, and again. Or, that it is simply pattern-matching what “assistant” output previously, for a repeating loop. Or enjoying ‘reasoning’, AI thinking it can try out tools to an internal channel. You don’t have control over the tool response message or placement to fix internal tools yourself. What you do have is control over the iteration count where the AI can continue emitting to tools. This should stop the expense cold: > `max_tool_calls` - The maximum number of total calls to built-in tools that can be processed in a response. This maximum number applies across all built-in tool calls, not per individual tool. Any further attempts to call a tool by the model will be ignored. Then consider if you really need “chat with pictures”. You can instead use a function that is a connector to the generate image API, stopping the context bloat, or simply a non-chat tool to create and edit (without talking to an AI that is not in control of making the actual images.)
