Can I search for photos taken in a specific city?

Yes! Use the `search_flickr_photos` tool and include the city name in your text query. For more precision, you can also ask for specific tags related to that city.

Does this integration provide the direct image URL?

Yes. The search results include a direct link (`url_m`) to the medium-sized version of the photo, which can be viewed in any web browser or reference in documents.

Can I see the technical metadata like camera settings?

The `get_flickr_photo_info` tool retrieves titles, descriptions, and owner metadata. For exhaustive technical EXIF data, Flickr requires specific additional permissions not included in the standard discovery toolset.
