## Tools (5)

- `buy_credits`: Start a purchase of an AI Separations credit pack for the user and return a Stripe Checkout link. Packs: credits_sample ($19, 25 separations), credits_shop ($99, 200), credits_studio ($349, 1,000). Credits never expire; 1 credit = 1 full separation via separate_image. Requires the user's email: the API key is emailed there after payment. Nothing is charged by this tool — the user pays on the returned link.
- `check_credits`: Check the remaining separation credits on an AI Separations API key. Free.
- `estimate_screens`: FREE, no key needed. Analyze artwork for screen printing: how many spot-color screens it needs, the detected ink colors (with named ink matches), whether it's flat/vector or photographic, and whether screen printing or DTF is the better process. Use this first on any logo or design.
- `get_pricing`: AI Separations pricing: free first separation, API credit packs, monthly plans, and the $179 one-time desktop app — with direct purchase links.
- `separate_image`: Run the real separation engine on artwork: detected spot inks, one grayscale film-positive plate per ink (halftoned, dot-gain compensated, white underbase on dark garments) plus a composite print preview. With no key: free small preview. With free_email: ONE full separation per email address, plates delivered by email, no watermark. With api_key: metered (1 credit), plates emailed to deliver_email.
