asset_ingest_external

Ingest an image the user generated in an external tool (Midjourney, Nano Banana, Ideogram web, Recraft, Flux Playground, etc.) and run the matte → vectorize (where applicable) → tier-0 validation pipeline. The round-trip endpoint for external_prompt_only mode.

Part of the Prompt To Asset MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

prompt-to-asset Execute

AI agents invoke asset_ingest_external to trigger processes or run actions in Prompt To Asset. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

asset_ingest_external can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the asset_ingest_external tool do? +

Ingest an image the user generated in an external tool (Midjourney, Nano Banana, Ideogram web, Recraft, Flux Playground, etc.) and run the matte → vectorize (where applicable) → tier-0 validation pipeline. The round-trip endpoint for external_prompt_only mode.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Prompt To Asset MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on asset_ingest_external? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for asset_ingest_external. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Prompt To Asset MCP server.

What risk level is asset_ingest_external? +

asset_ingest_external is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit asset_ingest_external? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the asset_ingest_external rule in your Intercept 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 asset_ingest_external completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for asset_ingest_external. 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 asset_ingest_external? +

asset_ingest_external is provided by the Prompt To Asset MCP server (prompt-to-asset). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
