What autodetect does on Reprise
AI agents call autodetect to retrieve information from Reprise 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
image | string | — | The design image as an http(s) URL or a base64 data URL. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why autodetect is rated Low
This is a read-only analysis tool that extracts information (element detection) from a design image without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The output is structured data about image contents. No side effects or state changes occur.
From the tool's definition Tool 'autodetect' analyzes an image and returns detected elements with bounding boxes and count; performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. Description states it 'Returns: A JSON string' indicating pure data retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs autodetect safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Reprise, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For autodetect, this is the rule to start with:
autodetect 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 Reprise, apply this rule, and every autodetect call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about autodetect
Auto-detect the elements (subjects and text) in a design image as relative bounding boxes. Returns: A JSON string with the detected elements (relative bboxes) and their count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Reprise MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
autodetect accepts 1 parameter: image. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Reprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for autodetect: 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 Reprise. Nothing to install.
autodetect 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 autodetect 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 autodetect. 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.
autodetect is provided by the Reprise MCP server (https://tepesama-reprise-mcp.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/http). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
