What rhino.import_site_image does on CoWork OS
AI agents use rhino.import_site_image to create or update resources in CoWork OS, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CoWork OS environment.
Why rhino.import_site_image is rated Medium
Importing an image reference into a design project is a Write operation: it adds data to the project state without executing code or causing irreversible changes. The image can be removed or replaced if needed. No data is deleted, and no external code execution occurs. Severity is low because importing a reference image poses minimal risk—it cannot corrupt the model, steal data, or affect other systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Import a site image/reference into the Rhino project' — this creates or adds a new asset (image reference) to an existing project, which is a reversible modification operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rhino.import_site_image safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rhino.import_site_image, this is the rule to start with:
rhino.import_site_image stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every rhino.import_site_image call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino.import_site_image
Import a site image/reference into the Rhino project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CoWork OS MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the CoWork OS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino.import_site_image: 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 CoWork OS. Nothing to install.
rhino.import_site_image is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rhino.import_site_image 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 rhino.import_site_image. 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.
rhino.import_site_image is provided by the CoWork OS MCP server (CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
