Search Images
Use this skill when the user asks to search for images, visual references, pictures, thumbnails, screenshots, product photos, logos, diagrams, or image-source URLs.
Workflow
- Call
web_search with:
provider: "searxng"categories: "images"- the user's visual search query
count, freshness, country, or language only when the user asks for them or they are clearly implied.
- Return the most relevant image results with title, URL, and thumbnail URL when available.
- Use
web_fetch only for a result page when the user asks to inspect the source page.
Constraints
- Do not use hosted image search providers for this skill unless the user explicitly asks to leave the sovereign SearXNG path.
- Do not present thumbnails or result URLs as licensed assets unless licensing is verified from the source page.
- If SearXNG is not configured, say that the self-hosted image search provider is unavailable and include the tool error.
