AI agents call immich_user_me to retrieve information from Immich without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that retrieves profile metadata for the authenticated user. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The information returned is limited to the user's own profile and does not enable unauthorized access to other users' data or system resources. Blast radius is minimal as it only provides information about the authenticated user themselves.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'immich_user_me' and description states 'Get the profile of the currently authenticated user' — a retrieval operation that queries user profile information (name, email, quota, role) with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the profile of the currently authenticated user (name, email, quota, role). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Immich MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Immich MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for immich_user_me: 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 Immich. Nothing to install.
immich_user_me 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 immich_user_me 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 immich_user_me. 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.
immich_user_me is provided by the Immich MCP server (whitehara/immich-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
