Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know first for what image you want to get original image URL? Do you mean you have created a custom image field and you want to just return the URL? If would be great if you share share your custom field setting for your image field and tell me where exactly you would like to display image URL and alt text?

You will have to use the custom shortcode to get alt text of image.

For example, please try to add the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#adding-custom-php-code-using-toolset

function get_image_alt_func( $atts ){
  global $post;
     
  $args = array(
  'posts_per_page'   => -1,
  'post_type'        => 'attachment',
  'post_parent'      => $post->ID,
  );
  $attachments = get_posts( $args ); // get attached image
 
  if ( $attachments ) {
    $alt_text = get_post_meta( $attachments[0]->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
  }
    return $alt_text;
}
add_shortcode( 'get-image-alt', 'get_image_alt_func' );

To be able to use this shortcode with your Types shortcodes you need to register it in Toolset > Settings > Front-end content.

For example;

 [types field='gallery-images' width='1500' height='1161' separator=',' url='true' alt="[get-image-alt]"][/types]  

Can you please check if above solution help you to resolve your issue.
