WHAT IT DOES

What image_convert does on Tanod

AI agents use image_convert to create or update resources in Tanod, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tanod environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`to`	string	Yes	png, jpeg, webp, gif, tiff, bmp, ico or avif.
`url`	object	—	Public http(s) URL of the image (at most 10 MB; private, internal and IP-literal hosts are refused); or use image_base64.
`output`	string	—	base64 (default): inline. url: stored for 24 hours; link, metadata.
`quality`	object	—	Encoder quality 1-100 for lossy formats (default: per format).
`lossless`	boolean	—	webp only.
`optimize`	boolean	—	png only.
`background`	object	—	Alpha is flattened onto this for jpeg/bmp (#ffffff).
`auto_orient`	boolean	—	Apply the EXIF orientation first (default true).
`progressive`	boolean	—	jpeg only.
`image_base64`	object	—	The image as standard or url-safe base64 (at most 10 MB decoded; a data:image/...;base64, prefix is fine); or use url.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why image_convert is rated Medium

An AI agent can call image_convert faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Tanod by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs image_convert safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For image_convert, this is the rule to start with:

image_convert Rate-limited

image_convert 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every image_convert call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about image_convert

What does the image_convert tool do? +

imagepeek: Convert an image to PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO or AVIF. To shrink the file use image_compress. Returns the image converted to png, jpeg, webp, gif, tiff, bmp, ico (16-256 px icon sizes) or avif, with quality, progressive JPEG, optimized PNG or lossless WebP; transparency is flattened onto background (default white) for jpeg and bmp. Reads PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO and AVIF; other formats and images over 40 megapixels are refused (not charged). Output: base64 data_base64, without EXIF, GPS, XMP or IPTC; over 15 MB or 50 megapixels is a 413 (not charged). Images are not logged; a result is kept only with output "url" (24 h). Typically 0.5-2 s. Price: USD 0.002. Free: 3 imagepeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/image-convert-api.html. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tanod MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does image_convert accept? +

image_convert accepts 10 parameters: to, url, output, quality, lossless, optimize, background, auto_orient, progressive, image_base64. Required: to. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on image_convert? +

Register the Tanod MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for image_convert: 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 Tanod. Nothing to install.

What risk level is image_convert? +

image_convert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit image_convert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the image_convert 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.

How do I block image_convert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for image_convert. 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.

What MCP server provides image_convert? +

image_convert is provided by the Tanod MCP server (https://tanod.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
