Image Reader MCP
Evidence-first image reading for AI agents — metadata, OCR text, regions, and citeable evidence without generative LLM.
Status: v0.1.0 shipped — read_image MCP tool available (metadata, dimensions, optional OCR, trust warnings).
Orchestrated by smart-reader-mcp — portfolio ADR lives there, not in pdf-reader-mcp.

Read vs interpret
Read (this repo): extract facts, metadata, transcripts, regions, and timelines with provenance — no generative LLM required.
Interpret (out of scope): summarize, classify, or answer open questions — belongs in the agent or an optional remote provider adapter.
MCP surface
Primary tool: read_image — returns an Agent Media Twin JSON payload with filename, mime, dimensions, metadata (GPS redacted), optional OCR lines with bounding boxes, and trust warnings.
