Image search across Naver's image index. Returns thumbnail and full-size image URLs.
AI agents call search_images to retrieve information from Naver Search without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sort | string | — | 'sim' (relevance, default) or 'date' (newest). |
query | string | — | Search query. Must be UTF-8 encoded. |
start | integer | — | Result offset (1-indexed). Default 1, max 1000. |
filter | string | — | Filter by image size: 'all' (default), 'large', 'medium', 'small'. |
display | integer | — | Number of results to return per page. Default 10, max 100. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a search query that returns image metadata (URLs) from Naver's index. It is a retrieval operation with no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve and potentially return irrelevant or sensitive images in search results, but cannot alter the underlying data or perform destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_images' and description 'Image search across Naver's image index. Returns thumbnail and full-size image URLs.' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_images gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Naver Search, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_images:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_images": {}
}
}search_images is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Image search across Naver's image index. Returns thumbnail and full-size image URLs. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Naver Search MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_images accepts 5 parameters: sort, query, start, filter, display. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Naver Search 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 Naver Search. 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 Naver Search MCP server (@isnow890/naver-search-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Naver Search, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
