Why label-search needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries photo metadata based on user-provided labels. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The search operation is a passive read-only query against the photo library. Severity is low because even if misused by an agent, it only exposes photo metadata without financial, destructive, or operational consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'search photos by labels or keywords' with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. Returns data matching search criteria.

How to control label-search

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Smart Photo Journal MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for label-search:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "label-search": {}
  }
}

label-search 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 Smart Photo Journal 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.
