Full Description

Use this when the user wants to search Shutterstock’s stock photo library for images using keywords (subject, style, mood, setting) and needs a short list of preview results. Do not use this tool to generate new images, edit images, answer general questions, browse the open web, or handle licensing/download requests. Return watermarked preview URLs and basic metadata for selection. The title is required and must be in the form "Images of {query}". Translate the title to the requested locale (including translating "Images of").

Parameters (2 required, 1 optional)
