Check RawTherapee installation status and server configuration.
AI agents call check_rt_status to retrieve information from Rawtherapee without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only check of system status and configuration. It retrieves information about the RawTherapee installation and server setup but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations on images or system state. The action is informational/diagnostic in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity since it has no side effects or blast radius if queried by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_rt_status' and description 'Check RawTherapee installation status and server configuration' indicate a diagnostic query that retrieves status information without modification or execution of photo processing tasks.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check RawTherapee installation status and server configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rawtherapee MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rawtherapee MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_rt_status: 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 Rawtherapee. Nothing to install.
check_rt_status 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 check_rt_status 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 check_rt_status. 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.
check_rt_status is provided by the Rawtherapee MCP server (lucamarien/rawtherapee-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
