Why adjust_color_balance needs a policy

Based on the tool name and server context (Inkscape vector graphics editing), this tool likely adjusts color balance of graphical elements, which modifies data reversibly. Sibling tools like adjust_brightness_contrast, adjust_hue_saturation, and adjust_levels confirm a pattern of image adjustment operations that write/modify document state. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'adjust_color_balance' on an Inkscape vector graphics editing server. Description is empty.

How to control adjust_color_balance

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

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

adjust_color_balance stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Inkscape — 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.
