## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `qr-code-generator` |
| Category | marketing-tools |
| Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |
| Browser execution | Use the visible action or interactive controls. |
| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |
| HTTP API | /api/v1/tools/qr-code-generator/run |
| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Implementation notes

Download an SVG QR code. Anyone who scans it can read its contents; the code does not encrypt your data.

### Inputs and settings

Text input: Your text.

Example or placeholder shown in the interface (not a validated fixture):

```text
Type or paste your input…
```

Up to 1,000,000 characters. Review the settings before running.

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `correction` | Error correction | select | "M" | Allowed: M, L, Q, H |

            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Error and retry handling

Failures return a non-200 status and `error.code` plus `error.message`. Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.

### Browser-agent workflow

1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.
2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.
3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.
4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.
5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.

Calls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.

### Planning specification

Static downloadable SVG/PNG with quiet zone and error correction; no expiring redirect dependency.

This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.

2. Review the settings, then choose Run QR code generator.
3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.

## Working with qr code generator

Marketing utilities help prepare links, metadata and tracking inputs. Consistent names and clean URLs make reports easier to interpret, especially when several people contribute to the same campaign.

## Common questions

### Do tracking parameters change the destination content?

Usually they supply additional information to the receiving site, but the site decides how to use them. Verify the final URL instead of assuming every parameter is ignored by the page.

### Can a preview guarantee how a platform will display a link?

No. Platforms can cache previews and apply their own rules. A preview is a useful check, but the receiving platform remains the final reference.
