- Read a local image file and send it to the language model as image content
- Accepts project-relative paths by default; absolute and home paths are allowed
- Uses Bun.Image to downscale/compress supported images before model submission when possible
- Returns metadata plus the visual image payload; use when you need to inspect screenshots, icons, diagrams, or other images
- Do not use this tool to inspect an image already attached to the current user message; attached images are provided directly to vision-capable models
- For text files, use the read tool instead
