Image OCR for AI agents

Extracts text and its positions from images.

utilities.image_ocr_text_extractor

What it does

Extracts text and its positions from images. It is one of the Media and vision tools in the Ahura Utilities catalogue: a ready-made MCP tool that an agent calls with a typed input and gets a structured result back, with no library to install and no sandbox to start.

How agents use it

Agents use image ocr to read screenshots, receipts and signs. Because it is a plain tool call, it slots into a single agent turn or a step in an Ahura Workflow, and large inputs and outputs are passed by reference using a store:// address from Ahura Store.
