## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CLOUDLAYER_ADD_STORAGE` | Add Storage | Add a user-owned S3-compatible storage configuration for storing generated assets. This action allows Enterprise plan users to configure their own S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, MinIO, etc.) instead of using the built-in cloud storage included with Cloudlayer accounts. Note: User storage is only available on Enterprise plans. Standard plans will receive an 'allowed: false' response indicating the feature requires a plan upgrade. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_CONVERT_HTML_TO_IMAGE` | Convert HTML to Image (V2) | Convert HTML content to an image (PNG, JPG, or WebP) using the v2 API endpoint. Renders the provided HTML string using a headless browser and returns job details with the generated image asset. Supports various rendering options including viewport configuration, transparency, auto-scroll, and custom wait conditions. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_CONVERT_HTML_TO_PDF_V2` | Convert HTML to PDF (v2) | Tool to convert HTML content to PDF using CloudLayer v2 API. Use when you need to generate a PDF from raw HTML with advanced options like custom paper size, margins, headers/footers, and viewport settings. The HTML is automatically Base64 encoded before sending to the API. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_CONVERT_URL_TO_PDF_GET` | Convert URL to PDF (Simple) | Tool to convert a URL to PDF using GET request. Use when you need quick PDF conversion with minimal parameters and immediate result. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_DELETE_STORAGE` | Delete Storage Configuration | Tool to delete a specific user storage configuration. Use when you need to remove an external bucket configuration by its ID after confirming the ID is correct. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_GET_ACCOUNT_INFO` | Get Account Info | Tool to retrieve Cloudlayer account usage, credits, and document counts. Use when monitoring account limits and subscription status. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_GET_ASSET` | Get Asset | Tool to retrieve a specific asset by its ID. Use when you need to fetch metadata or download URL of an existing asset after its generation. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_GET_JOB_BY_ID` | Get Job By ID | Retrieve details of a specific Cloudlayer job by its ID. Use this to check the status of an async job, get the asset download URL after completion, or view job parameters. Returns 401 if the job ID doesn't exist or doesn't belong to your account. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_GET_STATUS` | Get API Status | Tool to test API reachability. Use when checking if the Cloudlayer API is available. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_GET_STORAGE_BY_ID` | Get Storage Configuration by ID | Tool to retrieve a specific storage configuration by its ID. Use when you need to inspect or validate details of a user storage configuration. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_LIST_ASSETS` | List Assets | List assets in your CloudLayer account with cursor-based pagination. Returns PDFs and images generated via HTML/URL conversion jobs. Use this to find asset IDs for further operations like downloading or deleting assets. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_LIST_JOBS` | List Jobs | List jobs in your CloudLayer account with cursor-based pagination. Use when you need to view your recent jobs and their statuses. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_LIST_STORAGE` | List Storage Configurations | Retrieves all user storage configurations (S3-compatible buckets) for the authenticated Cloudlayer account. Use this to view configured external storage destinations where generated documents can be saved. Note: User Storage is an Enterprise plan feature. Non-Enterprise accounts will receive an empty list. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_TEMPLATE_TO_PDF` | Template to PDF | Generate a PDF document from an HTML/Nunjucks template with dynamic data. Provide either: - A `templateId` for predefined templates from CloudLayer's template library, OR - A base64-encoded `template` string containing custom HTML/Nunjucks markup. The `data` parameter populates template variables (e.g., {{name}}, {{items}}) with your JSON data. By default, jobs run asynchronously and return a job ID to poll for completion via get_job_by_id. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_URL_TO_IMAGE_POST` | Convert URL to Image | Converts a webpage URL to an image (PNG, JPG, or WebP). Supports custom viewport settings, wait conditions, transparency, auto-scroll, and thumbnail preview generation. The API is asynchronous - use the returned job ID to poll for results. |
| `CLOUDLAYER_URL_TO_PDF_POST` | Convert URL to PDF | Tool to convert a URL to PDF with full parameter support. Use when you need advanced control over paper size, margins, headers/footers, or webhook callbacks. |

```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript

```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')

import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Cloudlayer Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Cloudlayer actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',

    'content': 'Convert this HTML invoice to a PDF file'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Convert this HTML invoice to a PDF file'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create Tool Router Session

Initialize the Composio client and create a Tool Router session
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript

console.log("Creating Tool Router session...");
const { mcp } = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Cloudlayer tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Convert this website https://example.com to a PDF')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: mcp.url,
    headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key' }
  }
});

const tools = await client.tools();
