What getDashboardImage does on Stable Baseline
AI agents call getDashboardImage to retrieve information from Stable Baseline 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
page | integer | string | — | The page's index (1 is the first), name or id. |
pages | string | — | For pdf: one (the page, the default) or all, in order. |
theme | string | — | light (the default) or dark. |
format | string | — | png (the default), jpeg or pdf. |
dashboard | string | Yes | The dashboard's id or name. |
databaseId | string | Yes | The database's id, friendly id (DB-12) or exact name. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why getDashboardImage is rated Low
Even though getDashboardImage 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.

The rule that runs getDashboardImage safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getDashboardImage, this is the rule to start with:
getDashboardImage 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 Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every getDashboardImage call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about getDashboardImage
Draw one page of a database dashboard as a picture so you can SEE it, as getDiagramImage does for a diagram: every visual at its place on the whole page, however tall, with the numbers as you would see them when the page opens. Call it after every saveDatabaseDashboard and keep changing and looking until the layout and the visuals look right. page is the page's index (1 is the first, as getDatabase lists them), its name or its id; the first page when left out. The answer names the page (its index, of how many) and lists its visuals with their place and state: one with no numbers to draw (nothing matches, not set up, no access) is drawn as the page draws it and named. The page is drawn as a desktop shows it, 1280 pixels wide; one too tall for one picture is drawn smaller, never cut. Returns the picture, and a link to it that works for one hour. format pdf makes a file to give someone instead: a download link, or in an agent's job a file of the job. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
getDashboardImage accepts 6 parameters: page, pages, theme, format, dashboard, databaseId. Required: dashboard, databaseId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Stable Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getDashboardImage: 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 Stable Baseline. Nothing to install.
getDashboardImage 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 getDashboardImage 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 getDashboardImage. 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.
getDashboardImage is provided by the Stable Baseline MCP server (https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
