Search Design

search_design
Full Description

Search for design templates with text and structured layouts (cards, invitations, posters, flyers, etc.). If the user has provided some text content to be filled, you must return the fillDescription in the response.

CRITICAL: Use this tool if request mentions dates, names, events, business info, or text content

  • even if they say 'create an IMAGE'.

IMPORTANT: 1. Search with GENERIC terms only. Specific details if provided by the user (e.g. dates, names, venues, etc.) MUST go as well but in the fillDescription parameter. 2. When the user asks for more results (e.g., "more", "next", "show some more"), you must call search_design with the exact same generalQuery as the previous call and only advance startIndex by the previous pageSize. Do not reword, paraphrase, or expand the generalQuery. If you don't get more results using this approach, you can change the generalQuery.

Examples
  • 'Create image for beach volleyball event Sep 29th' → Search 'volleyball'
  • 'Make bakery business card' → Search 'business card'
  • 'Design birthday invitation' → Search 'birthday invitation'

EXAMPLE without PII: 'birthday party invitation with bright colors' → 'birthday party invitation with bright colors' (keep identical).

To get subsequent pages, increment by the page size: use 0 for page 1, 24 for page 2, 48 for page 3, etc. If you specify a custom limit, increment by that limit value instead.
