Use the interactive application unless an official automation interface is confirmed.\n2. Check the model service terms before sending private reference media.\n\n### fal image models\n\n1. Fetch `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before calling a model to get its schema and price\n2. POST to `https://queue.fal.run/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e` and poll or pass a webhook, rather than holding a call open on fal.run\n3. Use an API-scoped key for agents.
