Example prompt: I need to render a Google Maps satellite tile layer in my app — can you create a tile session so I can start loading map tiles?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to initialize a Google Maps tile rendering session before fetching individual map tiles. This is a prerequisite step for any workflow that renders Google Maps tile layers (satellite, roadmap, terrain, etc.) in a web or mobile app. Prefer this over static map endpoints when you need interactive or dynamic tile-based map rendering.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing API key returns 401 unauthorized
- Unsupported map type parameter returns 400 bad request
- Quota exceeded returns 429 too many requests
