How to control gemini_upload_images ↓

AI agents use gemini_upload_images to create or update resources in Gemini Skill — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gemini Skill environment.

Medium Risk

This tool uploads (writes) image files to a chat interface input box. It is a reversible operation that modifies the UI state but does not execute irreversible deletion, trigger external code execution with arbitrary side effects, or involve financial transactions. It fits the Write category (creates/modifies data reversibly).

From the tool's definition Tool description states "向 Gemini 当前输入框上传图片(仅上传,不发送消息)" (upload images to Gemini's current input box, upload only, do not send message).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access gemini_upload_images gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gemini_upload_images": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "gemini_upload_images_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

gemini_upload_images 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.

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