What search_images does on DHLAB MCP Server

AI agents call search_images to retrieve information from DHLAB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why search_images needs a policy

It follows the pattern of other read-only tools on the same server (search_texts, ngram_frequencies, get_corpus_statistics). The empty description slightly reduces confidence, but the name and server purpose clearly indicate a retrieval operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_images' combined with server context describing 'image search' from Norwegian digital collections.
