Inclusion rule. The nine hooks every tool in the register is read for. Order. The order hooks take on every tool page.

1Where they part

fal documents resolution, downloads and SDKs, which Adobe Firefly's pages leave out. For API access, fal names one API for many providers and Adobe Firefly an API for its own models. For job signals, fal names a webhook or callback URL and Adobe Firefly a status polled until done. Neither documents agent hooks, editing hand-off, subtitle files or file formats.
