What check_immich does on Mcp Nettools
AI agents call check_immich to retrieve information from Mcp Nettools without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why check_immich is rated Low
This tool retrieves server health status from an Immich instance without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a simple health check query operation that falls clearly into the Read category. Severity is low because even if misused by an agent, the only impact would be generating a health check request to a server, which has negligible blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool makes a GET request to /api/server-info/ping and returns a ping response. GET requests are read operations with no side effects. The endpoint queried (/api/server-info/ping) is a health check endpoint that retrieves server status information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs check_immich safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Nettools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For check_immich, this is the rule to start with:
check_immich is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Nettools, apply this rule, and every check_immich call is checked against it from then on.
