Why insertImageInDocument is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies document content by inserting images, which is a reversible write operation. The 10MB file size limit and asset management flow (createImageUploadSession) indicate structured document modification rather than destructive deletion. Severity is medium because bulk image insertion could clutter or degrade document organization, but changes are reversible through standard document editing.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'insertImageInDocument' and description states it 'Insert an image into a document', which is a create/modify operation on document content. The tool modifies existing documents by adding image assets to them.

The rule that runs insertImageInDocument 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 insertImageInDocument, this is the rule to start with:
insertImageInDocument 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every insertImageInDocument call is checked against it from then on.

insertImageInDocument is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the insertImageInDocument 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 insertImageInDocument. 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.
insertImageInDocument 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.
