Download and save image from provider to project with optimization. Requires at least one API key to be configured. All paths are relative to the project root.
AI agents use stock_images_download_to_project to create or update resources in TSCodex MCP Images — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TSCodex MCP Images environment.
This tool downloads an external image and writes it to the local project filesystem. It creates new files rather than modifying or deleting existing ones, making it a Write operation. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could fill disk space or overwrite existing files, but it is generally reversible by deleting the downloaded files.
