How to control generateImage ↓

AI agents invoke generateImage to trigger actions in MCP Starter for Puch AI. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Generating an image triggers an external operation (likely calling an AI image generation API or similar service). The description is truncated and uninformative, reducing confidence. Based on the name, it executes an image generation process rather than simply reading or writing stored data. Severity is medium as misuse could result in unwanted API calls or resource consumption, but blast radius is limited.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'generateImage' and partial description 'Generate an image using the' (truncated/uninformative)

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generateImage gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generateImage": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generateimage_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generateImage stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Starter for Puch AI — 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.
