<#
.SYNOPSIS
Analyzes image content using AI vision capabilities

.DESCRIPTION
Processes images using AI vision capabilities to analyze
content and answer queries about the image. The function supports various
analysis parameters including temperature control for response randomness and
token limits for output length.

.PARAMETER Query
Specifies the question or prompt to analyze the image content. This drives the
AI's analysis focus and determines what aspects of the image to examine.

.PARAMETER ImagePath
The path to the image file for analysis. Supports both relative and absolute
paths. The file must exist and be accessible.

.PARAMETER Instructions
System instructions for the model to follow during the analysis.

.PARAMETER ResponseFormat
A JSON schema that specifies the requested output format for the response.

.PARAMETER Temperature
Controls the randomness in the AI's response generation. Lower values (closer
to 0) produce more focused and deterministic responses, while higher values
increase creativity and variability. Valid range: 0.0 to 1.0.

.PARAMETER ImageDetail
Sets the detail level for image analysis.
Valid values are "low", "medium", or "high".

.PARAMETER LLMQueryType
The type of LLM query to perform. Defaults to "Pictures" for image analysis.

.PARAMETER Model
The model identifier or pattern to use for AI operations.

.PARAMETER ApiEndpoint
The API endpoint URL for AI operations.

.PARAMETER ApiKey
The API key for authenticated AI operations.

.PARAMETER TimeoutSeconds
The timeout in seconds for AI operations.

.PARAMETER SessionOnly
Use alternative settings stored in session for AI preferences.

.PARAMETER ClearSession
Clear alternative settings stored in session for AI preferences.

.PARAMETER PreferencesDatabasePath
Database path for preference data files.

.PARAMETER SkipSession
Store settings only in persistent preferences without affecting session.

.PARAMETER IncludeThoughts
If specified, includes the model's thoughts in the output.

.PARAMETER AutoConsent
Force a consent prompt even if a preference is already set for ImageSharp
package installation, overriding any saved consent preferences.

.PARAMETER AutoConsentAllPackages
Automatically consent to third-party software installation and set a persistent
preference flag for ImageSharp packages, bypassing interactive consent prompts.

.EXAMPLE
Invoke-QueryImageContent `
    -Query "What objects are in this image?" `
    -ImagePath "C:\Images\sample.jpg" `
    -Temperature 0.01

Analyzes an image with specific temperature and token limits.

.EXAMPLE
Invoke-QueryImageContent -Query "Describe this image" -ImagePath "photo.webp" -AutoConsentAllPackages

.EXAMPLE
Query-Image "Describe this image" "C:\Images\photo.jpg"

Simple image analysis using alias and positional parameters.
