Cline executes deep photo searches
Cline uses `search_photos` to hunt for specific visual assets. It takes your prompt and returns the raw data directly into your coding environment. Instead of hunting through websites, let Cline pull the image list. It processes the output so you can get back to writing your application.
Automated metadata retrieval
When you need details, Cline calls `get_photo_info`. It grabs the specific data points you need for your project without extra steps. This keeps your workflow moving. Cline manages the tool execution while you focus on the logic.
Direct album access for Cline
Cline uses `list_photosets` to grab user albums on command. It turns a manual browsing task into a single autonomous action. This allows you to reference large collections of work quickly. Cline handles the request and displays the available sets in your sidebar.
