Send `"type": "image"`.

Generate a standalone picture - an illustration, photo, artwork, icon or logo - and place it on the board as an image component. Use this whenever the user asks for an image/picture/photo/illustration of something.

Also available as the MCP tool `render_image`. The same payload works through either surface.

### Fields

- `prompt` (string, required): What the picture shows: subject, composition, lighting and art style, in one self-contained sentence or two. Avoid asking for text, letters or numbers inside the image.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "image",
  "data": {
    "prompt": "string"
  }
}
```
