Why describe_image needs a policy

This tool retrieves and analyzes image data to produce text descriptions. It performs read-only operations (analysis) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. The only potential privacy concern is access to image content, but the action itself is passive observation and summarization, making it a Read category risk with low severity.

From the tool's definition The tool 'describe_image' has a description stating it 'Analyze and describe one or more images using Google Gemini. Returns a text description of the image contents.' This is purely a query/analysis operation with no side effects.

How to control describe_image

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Nano Banana Pro MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for describe_image:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "describe_image": {}
  }
}

describe_image is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Nano Banana Pro MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
