> Providing alt text that describes the purpose or content of an image.
This is not what alt text is for. Alt text is for a textual *alternative* to the image, not a description of it. There is discussion of this in [HTML5 § 4.8.4.4 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#alt).
Suggestion:

> Providing text alternatives for images.
