search_images
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.
This tool retrieves or queries image data from a digital humanities corpus without modifying, executing code, or causing side effects. 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.

search_images. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DHLAB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DHLAB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_images: 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 DHLAB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_images 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 search_images 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 search_images. 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.
search_images is provided by the DHLAB MCP Server MCP server (marksverdhei/dhlab-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
