How to pass image url in N8N Agent

Hi everyone,
I’m building an agent in N8N that needs to process both text and image inputs as part of my use case.

I have image URLs available, which I want to pass to the agent so that the LLM can access and analyze the image content, and provide a verdict based on the given instructions.

However, when I pass the image URLs directly, the LLM doesn’t seem to fetch or interpret the actual image. Instead, it just reads the URL as plain text and generates a response based only on that—completely ignoring the image content.

Currently, I am using Sonnet 3.5 through AWS bedrock credentials, but I have the bandwidth to switch to Gpt4o/4o-mini through Azure Openai services.

Is there a correct way to pass image URLs (or image data) so that the LLM actually processes the image? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
