Why search_gallery needs a policy

This is a read-only query operation that retrieves and returns image gallery data. It has no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and cannot modify or delete anything. The tool enables passive information retrieval and discovery, which is the defining characteristic of the Read category. Low severity reflects minimal blast radius — misuse would only cause irrelevant search results or wasted tokens.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Search AI image prompts with semantic understanding' and 'finds visually and conceptually similar results' — querying and retrieving data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.

How to control search_gallery

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MeiGen AI Design MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_gallery:

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

search_gallery is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MeiGen AI Design MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
