run_replicate_model
Runs any model hosted on Replicate by its `owner/name[:version]` reference. Use this as an escape hatch when none of the curated tools fit. Call `get_model_schema` first if you don't know the input shape.
get_model_schema
Fetches the OpenAPI input schema and description for a Replicate model so you can pass the right parameters to `run_replicate_model`.
