WHAT IT DOES

What location-search does on Smart Photo Journal MCP Server

AI agents call location-search to retrieve information from Smart Photo Journal MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why location-search needs a policy

This tool searches and retrieves photos based on location criteria. It is purely a read operation that accesses existing data without modifying, deleting, or executing external code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view photos the user already has access to. No data is changed, deleted, or created.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'location-search' and description 'Find photos from specific locations' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control location-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 location-search:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "location-search": {}
  }
}

location-search is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
