What images_generate does on Dialogbrain
AI agents invoke images_generate to trigger actions in Dialogbrain. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Yes | Text description of the image to generate (3-4000 chars). |
aspect_ratio | string | — | Output aspect ratio. |
reference_file_ids | array | — | Optional list of up to 3 file_ids whose images should be used as visual references (for edits, subject consistency, or composition). Files must be image MIME ty |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why images_generate is rated High
This tool triggers an external AI image generation service (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) and produces a file artifact. It is not a simple read, nor does it modify/delete existing data. It executes an external operation whose output depends on the prompt and reference images provided.
From the tool's definition Generates a PNG image from a text prompt using Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. Returns a file_id consumable by messages.send(attachments=[...]) and other file-aware tools.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs images_generate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For images_generate, this is the rule to start with:
images_generate stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Dialogbrain, apply this rule, and every images_generate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about images_generate
Generates a PNG image from a text prompt using Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. Returns a file_id consumable by messages.send(attachments=[...]) and other file-aware tools. Supports up to 12 reference image file_ids for subject-consistent edits and composition (use file IDs from the [ATTACHMENTS] block, files.search, or search.files). Latency: ~8-10s per image. Output: 1024×1024 PNG. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Dialogbrain MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
images_generate accepts 3 parameters: prompt, aspect_ratio, reference_file_ids. Required: prompt. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Dialogbrain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for images_generate: 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 Dialogbrain. Nothing to install.
images_generate is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the images_generate 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 images_generate. 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.
images_generate is provided by the Dialogbrain MCP server (https://api.dialogbrain.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
