What vision.plan_capture does on Visionmcp
AI agents call vision.plan_capture to retrieve information from Visionmcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why vision.plan_capture is rated Low
This is a planning/recommendation tool that reads input (presumably current scene or model state) and outputs suggested camera positions or view parameters. It does not execute capture, modify data irreversibly, trigger external systems, or move resources. The 'sealed plan' appears to be a returned data structure, not an action with side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'plan_capture' and description 'Propose coverage-maximising views; sealed plan carries HYPOTHETICAL authority' indicate the tool generates recommendations or proposals for camera/sensor views.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs vision.plan_capture 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.plan_capture, this is the rule to start with:
vision.plan_capture is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Visionmcp, apply this rule, and every vision.plan_capture call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about vision.plan_capture
Propose coverage-maximising views; sealed plan carries HYPOTHETICAL authority. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Visionmcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Vision MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vision.plan_capture: 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 Visionmcp. Nothing to install.
vision.plan_capture is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vision.plan_capture 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 vision.plan_capture. 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.
vision.plan_capture is provided by the Vision MCP server (joshuahickscorp/visionmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
