I was thinking about that but this would be a departure from how the project handles image tools. I organized it similar to the openai tools so the workflows stay the same for users |

@danny-avila with native multimodal image generation models appearing, it would be great to implement this functionality actually!

This is great that it's a tool - it can be called by other models. But yes, there's more models that can natively return text AND images (and audio?), so that would be good if it can handle that too. |
