How statuses are assigned

Definition and scope

What this capability means

This row asks whether an image selected, dragged, or pasted into the exact harness is interpreted as visual model context. Merely uploading the file to storage, extracting only its filename, or making it available to an unrelated tool does not establish image input.

Evidence should record accepted formats, per-file and per-message limits, animation handling, resolution or detail controls, whether metadata is stripped, and whether availability changes by model, plan, or client. Screenshot capture is a separate capability because it concerns acquiring the current interface rather than supplying an existing image.

The Grok Web and Grok Bot desktop claims are scoped independently because their attachment limits and runtime behavior differ. Image input does not by itself establish screenshot capture, computer use, image generation, or reliable interpretation of every image format.

All other harness cells remain unknown until a dated note and public source support a more specific status. Use the Markdown and JSON twins if you are an agent reading this site.
