# image_thumbnail

imagepeek: Make 1-8 thumbnails of an image in one call. For one exact resize use image_resize. Returns 1-8 thumbnails in one call, each sizes entry {width, height} (at most 4096), by fit cover (smart centre crop with gravity, default) or contain; not upscaled unless upscale. The 15 MB output cap covers all of them together. The images come back in images. 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-thumbnail-api.html

| `fit` | string | no | cover (default: fill each size, cropping the overflow) or contain (fit inside, no crop). |
| `url` | object | no | Public http(s) URL of the image (at most 10 MB; private, internal and IP-literal hosts are refused); or use image_base64. |
| `sizes` | array | yes | 1-8 {width, height}. |
| `format` | object | no | Output format (default: the input's; ICO in, PNG out). |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "image_thumbnail",
    "arguments": {
      "sizes": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why image_thumbnail is rated Low

Even though image_thumbnail only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url) · High parameter count (10 properties)

## Use case

AI agents call image_thumbnail to retrieve information from Tanod without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tanod:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "image_thumbnail": {}
  }
}
```
