What updateImageInDocument does on Stable Baseline
AI agents use updateImageInDocument to create or update resources in Stable Baseline, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stable Baseline environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
alt | string | — | New alt text. |
align | string | — | Alignment. |
width | number | — | Width in pixels. |
height | number | — | Height in pixels. |
caption | string | — | New caption. |
imageId | string | Yes | Image ID from IMAGE_OMITTED markers. |
nlDescription | string | — | New image description. |
documentVersionTimestamp | number | — | Optimistic-lock token: the document's versionTimestamp from getDocument() or any mutating tool's response. (Alias accepted: versionTimestamp.) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why updateImageInDocument is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data (image metadata) within a document in a reversible manner. It does not delete, execute code, move money, or trigger external operations. The requirement for versionTimestamp indicates optimistic locking to prevent conflicts, a typical Write pattern.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'updateImageInDocument' and description stating it updates image metadata (alt, caption, dimensions, alignment), which are reversible modifications to document content.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs updateImageInDocument 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 updateImageInDocument, this is the rule to start with:
updateImageInDocument 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 updateImageInDocument call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about updateImageInDocument
Update image metadata (alt, caption, dimensions, alignment). Requires the document's versionTimestamp (from getDocument or any mutating tool's response) for optimistic locking. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
updateImageInDocument accepts 8 parameters: alt, align, width, height, caption, imageId, nlDescription, documentVersionTimestamp. Required: imageId. 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 updateImageInDocument: 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.
updateImageInDocument 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 updateImageInDocument 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 updateImageInDocument. 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.
updateImageInDocument 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.
