What search_image does on QuintaDB
AI agents call search_image to retrieve information from QuintaDB without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | Yes | Пошуковий запит англійською, напр. 'red leather chair' |
orientation | string | — | Орієнтація фото (за замовчуванням landscape) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why search_image is rated Low
This tool queries an external image database (Unsplash) and retrieves read-only results (URLs and metadata). It has no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The warning against automatic invocation is a usage guideline, not a capability indicator. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would return unwanted image URLs but cause no data loss or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it searches for free stock photos by keyword (Unsplash), returns image URLs and author metadata. The verb 'search' and 'returns' indicate data retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search_image safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and QuintaDB, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_image, this is the rule to start with:
search_image 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 QuintaDB, apply this rule, and every search_image call is checked against it from then on.
