Upscale an image (1-4× scale). Endpoint requires base64 image; this tool fetches the URL and uploads it. Returns base64 PNG.${X402_OK}
AI agents invoke venice_image_upscale to trigger actions in Venice MCP Server. 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.
This tool triggers an external image processing operation on the Venice API with effects determined by user-supplied arguments (image URL and upscale factor). While the operation is reversible and not destructive, it executes a computational process external to the MCP host rather than simply reading or writing local data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'fetches the URL and uploads it' and 'returns base64 PNG', indicating it performs an external operation (image upscaling via API call) whose effects depend on the input image and scale factor arguments.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access venice_image_upscale gives an agent:
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_upscale:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"venice_image_upscale": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "venice_image_upscale_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}venice_image_upscale 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.

Upscale an image (1-4× scale). Endpoint requires base64 image; this tool fetches the URL and uploads it. Returns base64 PNG.${X402_OK}. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Venice MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Venice MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for venice_image_upscale: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Venice MCP Server. Nothing to install.
venice_image_upscale is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the venice_image_upscale rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for venice_image_upscale. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
venice_image_upscale is provided by the Venice MCP Server MCP server (veniceai/venice-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
