Why get_image_frame needs a policy

The tool name indicates a read operation that retrieves or queries image frame data with no apparent side effects. However, the empty description reduces confidence—if this tool actually executes image processing or triggers external operations, it could be Execute instead.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_image_frame' suggests retrieval of image data without modification. Description is empty, limiting certainty of classification.

How to control get_image_frame

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

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

get_image_frame 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 Prometheus 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.
