Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves and queries advertising intelligence data (stores/advertisers) based on image similarity. It performs a search operation that returns results without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. The tool has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent — it would only retrieve unwanted advertising intelligence data, not cause irreversible changes or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'ai_search_image_stores' and description states 'Search stores/advertisers similar to a submitted image' — the verb 'search' and the read-only nature of querying/retrieving similar store data indicates no data modification or side effects.

Register the Pipiads MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ai_search_image_stores: 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 Pipiads. Nothing to install.
ai_search_image_stores 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 ai_search_image_stores 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 ai_search_image_stores. 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.
ai_search_image_stores is provided by the Pipiads MCP server (pipiads-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
