comfyui-tooling-nodes

Why we included this project

ComfyUI normally exchanges images through the filesystem, which means any external tool has to upload files, run a prompt, and download results, with all the cleanup and timing issues that come with it. This extension replaces that round-trip: you can embed a PNG as base64 right in the prompt, push image bytes to an in-memory cache, or get outputs back over the client WebSocket as binary messages. That makes ComfyUI practical to run as a backend service instead of a GUI you operate by hand. It also adds tiled image processing, region-based attention masking, and HTTP API extensions for inspecting loaded models, which matter when you want fine-grained control from an external tool. If you are wiring ComfyUI into your own pipeline or editor, these nodes are a clean way to move images in and out without touching disk.
