One Generic Video Tool or Per-Provider Tools? Debating the Agent Tool Layer
ExcitingBison4616 · reddit · 2026-09-19
A Reddit thread discusses tool-layer design for an agent orchestrating multiple video generation models. The author favors a single generic generatevideo tool with a routing layer that picks providers by budget, speed, and quality — but notes models differ widely in features (reference images, camera controls, audio) and a unified interface may hide half the useful capabilities. Three options are weighed: one tool with optional provider settings, separate tools per model, or delegating routing to an external API gateway.
