image_to_image · Mcp Recraft Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What image_to_image does on Mcp Recraft Server

AI agents invoke image_to_image to trigger actions in Mcp Recraft Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why image_to_image needs a policy

This tool sends an image and prompt to the Recraft.ai external API to generate a new image. It triggers an external operation whose effects depend on the arguments provided (input image + prompt), making it an Execute-category action. It is not purely Read (it produces new content), not Write (it doesn't modify existing stored data in a reversible CRUD sense), and not Destructive or Financial.

From the tool's definition "Generate an image using Recraft from an input image and a text prompt" — triggers an external AI image generation operation using both an input image and a text prompt
