Returns a public view URL. **THIS IS THE DEFAULT TOOL FOR ANY USER-DESCRIBED DIAGRAM.** Whenever the user describes a diagram they want ("draw an A/B test flowchart", "帮我画一个登录流程", "a system architecture with a load balancer and 3 servers", etc.), build it here from their description. Do NOT fall back to `create_from_template` / `list_templates` unless the user explicitly asked for a template. When responding to the user, present the returned URL as a clickable markdown link (e.g. `[Open in CodePic →](URL)`) so the user can click it directly in their AI client (Cursor / Claude / etc.). **Container nesting (IMPORTANT — use whenever possible):** - Set `parentId` on a node to nest it inside another node. ANY node type can be a container. - The parent automatically becomes draggable-as-a-group and users can keep dropping elements into it. - Call `get_shape_catalog` with tag `container-capable` to choose among native structural containers and adaptive semantic shapes such as rectangles, circles, ellipses, diamonds, cylinders, and hexagons. - Parent bounds are expanded automatically using the selected shape's title and outline safe area. - Use absolute canvas coordinates for all nodes — child coordinates are auto-converted to parent-relative. - Set node `name`, `description`, and `tags` when later MCP/Agent reads need stable business semantics beyond visible text. - **Rule**: whenever 2+ nodes logically belong to the same module / component / region, create a container node first and set `parentId` on each child. **Design tips for beautiful diagrams:** - Use semantic types: `button-primary` for CTA buttons (auto blue), `diamond` for decisions - Pick a color palette and apply it consistently — light fill + darker stroke of the same hue: • Blue: fillColor #e3f2fd / #bbdefb, strokeColor #1565c0, fontColor #1565c0 (or #ffffff on dark fill) • Green: fillColor #e8f5e9 / #c8e6c9, strokeColor #2e7d32, fontColor #1b5e20 • Purple: fillColor #f3e5f5 / #e1bee7, strokeColor #6a1b9a, fontColor #4a148c • Neutral: fillColor #f8fafc / #f1f5f9, strokeColor #475569, fontColor #1e293b - Each semantic group (decisions, processes, I/O) should share a fill color to create visual hierarchy - Dark fill (e.g. #1565c0, #ef4444) → fontColor #ffffff; light fill → fontColor #111827

Returns a public view URL and edit URL. **STRICT USAGE RULE — READ BEFORE CALLING:** Only call this tool when the user has **explicitly** asked to use a template. Explicit signals include phrases like: "use a template", "from template", "用模板", "从模板创建", "list templates and pick one", or the user directly naming/selecting a template slug. If the user merely describes a diagram they want (e.g. "draw an A/B test flowchart", "帮我画一个登录流程", "给我做一个系统架构图"), **DO NOT** call this tool. Call `create_diagram` instead and build the diagram from the user's description. Never silently substitute a template for a described diagram — the user will get a generic result that does not match what they asked for. When responding to the user, present the returned URL as a clickable markdown link (e.g. `[Open in CodePic →](URL)`) so the user can click it directly in their AI client (Cursor / Claude / etc.).

Use this before update_diagram when you need to: add nested children to existing containers, make targeted edits to specific elements, or understand the current structure. Requires API Key authentication.

U… Return compact machine-readable shape metadata for planning a diagram: semantic tags, geometry family, container support, recommended padding, default size, and MCP availability. Use this before create_diagram when choosing shapes or containers. Unlike get_shape_docs, this tool is concise and filterable.
get_shape_docs

Call get_shape_catalog first for concise shape selection and container capabilities; use this tool when you need complete fields or type-specific data (e.g. select options, triangle direction, callout tail). No authentication required.

Do NOT call this as a preparatory step when the user just described a diagram they want — in that case go straight to `create_diagram`. Discovering slugs here is only meaningful before a user-confirmed `create_from_template` call.
