Why get_device_image needs a policy

This tool retrieves images from Safie devices—a read-only data retrieval operation with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial operations involved. Low severity because retrieving images has limited blast radius unless they contain sensitive surveillance data, but the tool itself is non-destructive.

From the tool's definition Server is described as enabling to 'retrieve device information, images, media, location, thumbnails, and events'. Tool name 'get_device_image' combined with 'retrieve' in server description indicates a read operation.

How to control get_device_image

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

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

get_device_image 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 Safie API 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.
