Show statistics about the output directory and recently generated images.
AI agents call show_output_stats to retrieve information from Nano Banana MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays statistics about existing data (output directory contents and image metadata). It has no side effects—it merely reads and presents information. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything, making it a straightforward Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'show_output_stats' and description 'Show statistics about the output directory and recently generated images' indicate a query/retrieval operation that displays information without modifying, deleting, or executing code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show statistics about the output directory and recently generated images. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nano Banana MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Nano Banana MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for show_output_stats: 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 Nano Banana MCP Server. Nothing to install.
show_output_stats 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 show_output_stats 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 show_output_stats. 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.
show_output_stats is provided by the Nano Banana MCP Server MCP server (qso/nanobanana-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
