How It Works

1. Upload your photo          →  upload_image (returns CDN URL)
2. Browse available styles     →  browse_themes (150+ options)
3. Generate AI photos          →  generate_photo (auto-waits for result)
4. Or edit your photo          →  edit_image (19 operations available)
5. Results returned directly   →  Auto-polls until complete

All operations are async but auto-poll by default — the tool waits and returns the final result URL. Set wait_for_result: false to get the prediction ID immediately for manual polling.
