What image_num does on Baidu Map
AI agents call image_num to retrieve information from Baidu Map without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why image_num is rated Low
Based on the tool name 'image_num' and the context of a Baidu Map API server with sibling tools like 'comment_num', 'business_info', and 'address', this tool likely retrieves a count of images associated with a map location or business. This would be a read/query operation. However, the description is entirely uninformative ('string'), so confidence is low.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'image_num' and description is simply 'string' — uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs image_num safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Baidu Map, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For image_num, this is the rule to start with:
image_num 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 Baidu Map, apply this rule, and every image_num call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about image_num
string. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Baidu Map MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Baidu Map MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for image_num: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Baidu Map. Nothing to install.
image_num is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the image_num rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for image_num. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
image_num is provided by the Baidu Map MCP server (@baidumap/mcp-server-baidu-map). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
