venice_image_generate

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool triggers an external API call to generate AI images. It is not a simple read (it creates new content), not a write to a user-owned data store, but an execution of an external generative AI operation.

From the tool's definition 'Generate an image' using AI models including Flux 2 Pro/Max, Lustify SDXL, Anime (WAI), GPT Image, and others — triggers an external AI inference operation whose output depends on prompt arguments

HOW TO CONTROL VENICE_IMAGE_GENERATE

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "venice_image_generate": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "venice_image_generate_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

venice_image_generate 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.

Create a free account and register Venice MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
