Without an explicit description, we infer 'manage' typically encompasses Write operations (upload, modify metadata).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bookstack_manage_images' combined with server description stating 'advanced image gallery management with URL upload support' and 'full CRUD operations' indicates write capabilities. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "bookstack_manage_images": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "bookstack_manage_images_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
