What download does on Imagenx MCP Server

Why download needs a policy

The 'download' tool appears to retrieve or export generated images/videos from the server. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the name and server context indicate a read-only operation that transfers data without creating side effects or modifying content. No destructive, financial, or execute-like behaviors are implied.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'download' typically retrieves or exports data without modification. Context: image and video generation/processing server suggests downloading generated or processed media.

How to control download

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

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

download 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 Imagenx MCP Server — 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.
