## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-request alt text generation without committing to a monthly subscription. Ideal for agents that process images on demand and need accessible descriptions without integrating a dedicated vision API directly. Well-suited for low-volume or bursty workloads billed in USDC microtransactions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error
- Unsupported image format may cause processing failure
- Very low quality or abstract images may yield vague descriptions
- Payment failure in USDC on Base chain prevents request processing
- Timeout if the image URL is slow to load or the file is very large
