## What this connects

Kraken.io is an image optimization and compression platform that helps reduce image file sizes without compromising quality.

Vendor: https://kraken.io

## Tools available

**3** tools available. First 3:

- `KRAKEN_IO_CHECK_USER_STATUS` — Check Kraken.io User Status — Tool to retrieve current Kraken.io account status and quota usage. Use when you need to verify plan limits and remaining quota before processing images.
- `KRAKEN_IO_OPTIMIZE_IMAGE_URL` — Optimize Image by URL — Tool to optimize an image from a public URL. Use when you need to compress, resize, or convert an externally hosted image. Returns result immediately if 'wait' is true.
- `KRAKEN_IO_PRESERVE_METADATA` — Preserve Image Metadata — Tool to preserve EXIF and other metadata during Kraken.io image optimization. Use when you need to maintain metadata while compressing images.

Auth schemes: `API_KEY`.

## How agents use Kraken.io

Inside a Definable workflow, Kraken.io is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Kraken.io** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Kraken.io (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Kraken.io** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Kraken.io (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Kraken.io** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Kraken.io (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Kraken.io call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
