WHAT IT DOES

What vision.index.add does on Visionmcp

AI agents use vision.index.add to create or update resources in Visionmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Visionmcp environment.

RISK

Why vision.index.add is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies entries in an index by adding files. It is a Write operation because it creates new data structures (index entries) in a reversible manner. Severity is medium because adding to an index could impact system behavior and subsequent queries, but the operation is confined to a single file and is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Add one confined file to the classical multimodal index.' The verb 'Add' indicates creation/modification of data in an index structure.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs vision.index.add safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Visionmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For vision.index.add, this is the rule to start with:

vision.index.add Rate-limited

vision.index.add stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
