Request Parameters

List of parameters supported by this API endpoint

Name	Type	Example	Description
`task_id`	`string`	`fto-20260928-a1b2c3d4`	Task ID, auto-generated as fto-{yyyymmdd}-{8-hex} when omitted. Usually left unset here since this is typically the first step, and later steps reuse the generated value.
`input_lang`	`string`	`cn`	Input language: cn / en / tw / jp. This step does not currently use this field (kept for compatibility, safe to ignore).
`technical_proposal`	`string`	`一种折叠屏电子设备的转轴结构，包含同步旋转机构与快拆锁定件……`	Raw technical proposal description. Returns 422 when omitted and no historical proposal can be found by task_id.
`image_urls`	`array`	`[ "https://static.zhihuiya.com/upload/figure-1.png" ]`	Optional list of image URLs. The server downloads and converts them to base64 for multimodal refinement (unlike the MCP side's image_files, this takes downloadable URLs, not base64 strings). When omitted, reads back the image_file_keys persisted by create_task and exchanges them for time-limited signed download URLs; falls back to text-only refinement when neither is available.
