AI agents call capture to retrieve information from Mycobot without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves camera input from the myCobot system for observation purposes. It has no side effects—it does not modify robot state, execute movements, delete data, or incur financial obligations. It is a pure read operation used to obtain visual feedback, likely to support downstream object detection and pick-and-place operations performed by other tools on the server (like 'run').
From the tool's definition Tool name 'capture' and description 'Capture a camera image' indicate retrieval of visual data with no modification or execution of robot actions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access capture gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mycobot, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for capture:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"capture": {}
}
}capture is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Capture a camera image. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mycobot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mycobot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for capture: 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 Mycobot. Nothing to install.
capture 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 capture 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 capture. 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.
capture is provided by the Mycobot MCP server (neka-nat/mycobot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mycobot, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
