# cancel_storyboard_work

**Cancel a storyboard's work**

Stop what a film has in flight: every generation and render on the board, or one video's render when you name it. Credits held for work that had not started are released.

## Scope

- `storyboards.write` — Authors, edits, renders and deletes storyboards. Reading a board rides media.read, and the two board tools that spend need generation.write as well.

## Behaviour

- **Writes**: Creates or changes items in the caller's own account.
- **Can delete or overwrite**: Can delete, overwrite, cancel or withdraw something the caller already has, so a host should confirm it.
- **Stays in the account**: Stays inside the caller's private Kuro account: any media provider it calls acts on Kuro's account, and the result is visible to no one else.

## Credits

What the tool's description says about credits, verbatim:

- Credits held for work that had not started are released.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `storyboard_id` | string | yes | uuid |
| `video` | integer | no | > 0 |

## Example call

A `tools/call` request with the required arguments only, each a placeholder read off the schema. Replace them before sending.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "cancel_storyboard_work",
    "arguments": {
      "storyboard_id": "00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000"
    }
  }
}
```

## Input schema

As the server sends it in `tools/list`:

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "storyboard_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uuid"
    },
    "video": {
      "type": "integer",
      "exclusiveMinimum": 0
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "storyboard_id"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```
