Read image file metadata and basic information
AI agents call read_image_info to retrieve information from MCP Document Converter without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves image metadata and information without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it could expose metadata that may contain sensitive information like timestamps, camera details, or location data embedded in image files, but no destructive or financial impact is possible.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'read_image_info' and described as 'Read image file metadata and basic information'. The verb 'read' and explicit reference to 'metadata' and 'information' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Read image file metadata and basic information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Document Converter MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Document Converter MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_image_info: 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 MCP Document Converter. Nothing to install.
read_image_info 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 read_image_info 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 read_image_info. 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.
read_image_info is provided by the MCP Document Converter MCP server (kittolau/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
