Why search_image needs a policy

This tool queries Naver's image search API to retrieve visual content based on search terms. It performs read-only data retrieval with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no financial impact. The mention of 'visual research and content discovery' confirms informational retrieval only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_image' with description stating 'Search for images' and 'Find visual content, infographics, charts, and photos' โ€” purely retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external commands.

How to control search_image

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway โ€” it sits between your AI agents and Naver Search MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_image:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_image": {}
  }
}

search_image is read-only, so it stays allowed โ€” but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Naver Search MCP Server โ€” nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy โ€” paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
