| description | Transforms and inspects image objects stored in Volcengine TOS. Use this skill only when the task explicitly involves a TOS bucket/object key, TOS image processing, TOS-to-TOS save-as output, or Volcengine TOS image process syntax such as image/info, image/resize, image/format, image/watermark, image/draw, image/blindwatermark, or image/understanding. Do not use this skill for ordinary uploaded screenshots, local images, UI screenshot analysis, generic OCR, face detection, or visual question answering unless the user clearly says the image is a TOS object or asks to process/save it through TOS. |

Volcengine TOS Image Process
Inspect and transform images stored in Volcengine TOS — metadata, format conversion, resize, watermark, blind watermark, and AI-powered image understanding.
Setup (once per environment)
Install dependencies on first use:
cd {baseDir}
pip install -r {baseDir}/requirements.txt
Then run scripts with Python 3.7+:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/<script>.py <args>
If you see a ModuleNotFoundError for tos, reinstall dependencies.
Environment Variables
This skill relies on the TOS identity declared in the metadata block. Common runtime variables are:
| Environment Variable | Required | Description |
|---|
TOS_ACCESS_KEY | Yes | TOS access key ID |
TOS_SECRET_KEY | Yes | TOS secret access key |
TOS_ENDPOINT | Yes | TOS endpoint URL |
TOS_REGION | Yes | TOS region |
TOS_BUCKET | Yes | Source bucket that stores the image |
TOS_OBJECT_KEY | No | Source object key of the image. Can be overridden with --key |
TOS_SECURITY_TOKEN | No | STS session token when using temporary credentials |
TOS_SAVEAS_BUCKET | No | Default target bucket for saving processed results |
TOS_SAVEAS_OBJECT_PREFIX | No | Default key prefix for saving processed results |
Quick start (common tasks)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_info.py --key photo.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_format.py --key photo.jpg --f webp --output converted.webp
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_resize.py --key photo.jpg --width 500 --output resized.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_draw.py --key photo.jpg \
--points 50x50-200x120-320x220 --line --color FF0000 --output draw.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_zoom.py --key photo.jpg \
--resize-w 1200 --crop-w 500 --crop-h 400 --gravity center --output zoom.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_watermark.py --key photo.jpg \
--text "My Brand" --font fangzhengshusong --color FF0000 --size 72 \
--gravity center --output watermarked.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_blindwatermark.py --key photo.jpg \
--kv text=HelloBlind --output blind.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_process.py --key photo.jpg \
--process "image/resize,w_300,h_300,m_fill" --output filled.jpg
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_resize.py --key photo.jpg \
--width 500 --dry-run --json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_understanding.py --key photo.jpg \
--prompt "Describe this image in detail"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/image_understanding.py --key document.png \
--prompt "识别图片中的所有文字内容"
Available scripts
| Script | Purpose |
|---|
scripts/image_info.py | Read image metadata (format, dimensions, size). Falls back to local parsing when TOS returns raw bytes. |
scripts/image_format.py | Convert format (jpg, png, webp) with optional quality setting. |
scripts/image_resize.py | Resize by width/height/mode. |
scripts/image_draw.py | Draw points and optional connecting lines on an image with image/draw. |
scripts/image_zoom.py | Build agent-friendly zoom results by chaining image/resize and crop. |
scripts/image_watermark.py | Add visible text or image watermark with positioning, rotation, tiling, and opacity. |
scripts/image_blindwatermark.py | Embed blind watermark. Requires account-level permission and image ≥512×512 px. |
scripts/image_process.py | Pass any raw image/... process string. |
scripts/image_understanding.py | AI-powered understanding for TOS image objects via VLM (doubao-seed-1.6-vision). Supports description, OCR, face detection, and visual Q&A only when the source image is a TOS object. Requires account whitelist. |
All scripts support --key to override TOS_OBJECT_KEY, --output for local save, and --saveas-bucket/--saveas-object for TOS-to-TOS persistence. TOS_SAVEAS_BUCKET and TOS_SAVEAS_OBJECT_PREFIX are used as defaults when save-as CLI arguments are omitted. Most scripts support --json for machine-readable output, and all process-building scripts support --dry-run to preview the resolved request without calling TOS. Run any script with -h for full usage.
Out of scope
- Editing images with local desktop tooling outside TOS.
- Ordinary uploaded screenshots, local image files, mobile UI screenshots, generic OCR, face detection, and visual question answering that do not involve a TOS bucket/object key. Use the model's native vision or local file tools instead.
- Video or document processing (use
byted-tos-video-process or byted-tos-doc-process).
- Non-TOS storage providers.
Rules
- Authentication: Authentication is provided by the TOS identity declared in the
metadata block above. Object selection can be overridden per script with --key.
- Credential safety: Never print credential environment variable values such as
TOS_ACCESS_KEY, TOS_SECRET_KEY, TOS_SECURITY_TOKEN, or model API keys. Validate behavior by running the scripts directly instead of echoing or dumping the environment.
- Trigger boundary: Use this skill only for Volcengine TOS image objects or TOS image process workflows. If the user attaches or references a normal local image/screenshot and does not mention TOS, do not invoke these scripts; answer with native vision/local-file capabilities instead.
- Dry run: Use
--dry-run --json to validate parameters and inspect the generated process string. Dry-run does not call TOS and does not require AK/SK. If bucket/key are not provided, dry-run uses explicit placeholders where possible; real execution still requires valid TOS credentials, bucket/key, and network access.
- Parameter source of truth: The exact
process string syntax is defined by official Volcengine TOS documentation. When uncertain, check REFERENCE.md.
- Watermark encoding: Text and font parameters in
image/watermark require URL-safe Base64 encoding. The watermark script handles this automatically when you pass --text and --font.
- Blind watermark constraints: The source image must be at least 512×512 pixels, and the account must have the blind watermark capability enabled. If the capability is missing, the script exits with
[SKIP] (use --strict to fail hard).
- Image understanding: Uses
image/understanding with the doubao-seed-1.6-vision VLM model for TOS image objects only. The --prompt parameter is required. Requires account whitelist. Response time is typically 10-60 seconds.
- Language: Reply in the user's preferred language.
