## Use Case: <br>
Writers, editors, marketers, and content teams use this skill to find, evaluate, and document images for articles, WeChat posts, reports, and web content.

### Deployment Geography for Use: <br>
Global <br>

## Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>
Risk: Image search queries may be sent to external providers, and some providers require API keys in the environment. <br>
Mitigation: Install only when external image-search providers and environment-stored provider credentials are acceptable for the intended workflow. <br>
Risk: Search results, thumbnails, and provider metadata can be incomplete or insufficient for publication clearance. <br>
Mitigation: Treat candidates as research leads and verify the original landing page, license, attribution, subject accuracy, and rights risks before public use. <br>
Risk: Images involving people, trademarks, medical/legal/financial topics, minors, disasters, or disputed events can introduce rights or context risks. <br>
Mitigation: Flag these cases for extra review and avoid recommending images when authorization, identity, timing, context, or permitted use is unclear. <br>
