Get camera snapshot
AI agents call unifi_get_snapshot to retrieve information from Garza Home MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a snapshot image from a UniFi camera. It is a read-only operation that queries existing data (camera feed) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. While it accesses security camera data (which could be sensitive in a home automation context), the action itself is non-destructive retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'unifi_get_snapshot' and description 'Get camera snapshot' indicate retrieval of visual data with no modification or deletion of underlying data.

unifi_get_snapshot 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 unifi_get_snapshot 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 unifi_get_snapshot. 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.
