Understand, describe, OCR, inspect, or answer questions about a local image using an OpenRouter vision model. Use when the user provides an image and asks what it shows, what text it contains, whether a UI is wrong, or what a chart means.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Read Image

Use `scripts/openrouter.py image-read`.

Required:

- `--path`
- `--question`

Optional:

- `--model`
- `--reasoning-file` for a follow-up that reuses prior reasoning state

Workflow:

1. Read local image dimensions and MIME type first.
2. Enforce the upload size gate.
3. Require explicit cloud approval.
4. Encode local files as `data:{mime};base64,...`.
5. Return the adapter's structured answer and cite the local input path.

If cloud approval is unavailable, provide local metadata only and explicitly state that visual understanding was not performed.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add labs21-dev/agents-stack/read-image@sha256:45904291bfa515ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.ee027f0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
