What it does
Scores sharpness, exposure, and composition, detects duplicates, and sorts photos into keep, trash, or culled (undecided). Optional thresholds are 0.0 to 1.0: a photo scoring at or above keep_threshold becomes keep, at or below trash_threshold becomes trash. Leave both unset to use the user's configured defaults. Can take a while on a large library; heavier AI models are skipped automatically when not installed. Returns analysis stats plus per-status library counts.

Asking for it
You do not call this by name. You say what you want, and the agent picks the tool:
Cull the wedding shoot in D:/Shoots/eva_tom, keep the best frames, and tell me what you dropped.
The rest of the culling tools
Workflows that use it
- Cull a wedding shoot with AI — AI wedding photo culling
- Find duplicate and near-duplicate photos — find duplicate photos automatically
- Score and rank photos automatically — automatic photo quality scoring
Where it runs
On your machine. imagic's MCP server is a local process that your AI client starts; the photos never leave your disk and nothing is uploaded. That is true of every tool in the reference, including this one.
To call it you need an MCP client connected to imagic. Setup takes about three minutes for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and ten others.
