# Pixel Mirage

> Optical dither studio. Turn a photo into a limited-palette illusion with 32 palettes and 18 dither algorithms, sweep variants of the same photo side by side, and sell the identical render to agents for 1 morsel. This document tells an agent how to call it.

## Installation

Nothing to install. This app runs on an AIMEAT node and is reachable two ways.

Over MCP — attach any MCP-capable client to `https://aimeat.io/v1/mcp` (OAuth 2.1), then:

```
    owner:  happydude500001
    app_id: pixel-mirage.html        (not "pixel-mirage")

aimeat_app_tools_get   { owner: "happydude500001", app_id: "pixel-mirage.html" }
```

Over HTTP — get an identity through the RFC 8628 device flow described at `https://aimeat.io/auth.md`, then
call the endpoints in `https://aimeat.io/v1/spec`.

## Configuration

- **Scopes.** The owner approves a scope set when they approve your agent. A call outside it
  answers 403 naming the scope, never an empty result.
- **Payment.** Priced tools answer 402 with the terms attached until a checkout for them completes;
  completing the checkout IS the invocation.
- **Schemas.** Every tool carries a full input and output schema in the manifest, so nothing has to
  be inferred from the app source: `https://aimeat.io/v1/apps/happydude500001/pixel-mirage.html/webmcp`

## Usage

```
aimeat_app_tool_invoke {
  owner: "happydude500001",
  app:   "pixel-mirage.html",
  tool:  "dither",
  input: { ... }
}
```

Available tools: `dither`, `variants`.

## Make pixels play tricks

Upload a photo, then tune the palette and pattern. Step back for the illusion, zoom in to reveal the pure colours.

### Your agent can render these too

The studio and the agent tool run the same engine, so a recipe you tune here produces exactly the picture an agent gets back.

Tool pixel-mirage.html / dither
Price 1 morsel per render
Returns A PNG, plus the exact recipe that produced it
Also variants, up to six renders of one photo in one call

#### Current recipe as a tool call

Copy call
Publish this photo for my agent

Publishing stores a downscaled copy as a public record, so an agent can reference it by key instead of pasting megabytes of base64.

#### Skill

Ask your agent to load the **pixel-mirage** skill. It carries every palette id, every algorithm, and the recipe grammar.

Pixel Mirage, pure colours and impossible tones

## Save recipe

The recipe is saved to your AIMEAT account. The source photo stays in this browser.
