| 123 | ## Use Cases |
| 124 | |
| 125 | - **Visual content discovery**: Build image galleries, mood boards, or visual research tools. Use `count=200` for comprehensive coverage. Prefer over `web-search` when you need image-specific metadata (dimensions, thumbnails). |
| 126 | - **Content enrichment**: Add relevant images to articles or generated content. Use `country` and `search_lang` to target your audience's locale. |
| 127 | - **Safe image retrieval**: Default `safesearch=strict` ensures family-friendly results out of the box. Only two modes (off/strict) — no moderate option, unlike web/video/news search. |
