    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_images" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search openly licensed images by keyword across Openverse, NASA, The Met, Art Institute of Chicago and Cleveland Museum of Art. Each result has the image and thumbnail URL, size, license name and URL, yes/no flags for commercial use, editing and required credit, and a ready attributionText/attributionHtml. Use when you need an image you are allowed to reuse. Up to 12 results.

    Annotations the server declares

    • readOnlyHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true
    • idempotentHint: true
    • destructiveHint: false

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
