## Input

| Field       | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| text        | string | Yes      | Text prompt for image generation                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| resolution  | string | No       | Image resolution as a named size (e.g. '1024x1024'). Optional: providers may also accept native sizing knobs (width/height, aspect\_ratio, image\_size tier, etc.) via `provider_params`, in which case `provider_params` takes precedence. |
| num\_images | int    | No       | Number of images to generate                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
