feat: Add readImage tool and fix automatic image processing#297
Merged
Conversation
This commit fixes an issue where images mentioned in AI responses were automatically loaded, and introduces a new `readImage` tool for explicit image loading control. Changes: - Remove automatic image processing from AI responses (line 1703-1704) - Keep automatic image processing for tool results (existing behavior) - Add new `readImage` tool for explicit image loading by AI - Add comprehensive test suite (12 tests, all passing) The readImage tool allows AI to explicitly request image loading via: <readImage><path>image.png</path></readImage> Images are now loaded: - Automatically: user messages and tool results - Explicitly: via readImage tool call - Never: AI response mentions (unless using the tool) Security features: - Path validation (allowed directories only) - File size limits (20MB max) - Format validation (png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, svg) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

ReadImage Tool
Tool availability
✓ readImage tool should be available in toolImplementations
✓ readImage tool should be in allowed tools by default
Tool execution
✓ should successfully load image when given valid path
✓ should throw error when path parameter is missing
✓ should throw error when image file does not exist
✓ should handle relative paths correctly
✓ should support multiple image formats
✓ should not load the same image twice
Security
✓ should respect allowed folders security
✓ should validate file size limits
Integration with message flow
✓ loaded images should be available in getCurrentImages
✓ should work alongside automatic image processing from tool results

"text": "# PR Overview: feat: Add readImage tool and fix automatic image processing\n\n## Summary\n\nThis PR addresses a critical bug where images mentioned in AI assistant responses were automatically loaded, even when they were just referenced rather than explicitly provided by the user. The solution introduces a new `readImage` tool that gives AI explicit control over image loading while maintaining security and performance.\n\n## Files Changed Analysis\n\n**Modified Files:**\n- `npm/src/agent/ProbeAgent.js` (+25/-4): Core agent implementation with tool integration and bug fix\n- `npm/src/agent/tools.js` (+25/-0): Tool definition and XML schema\n- `npm/tests/unit/readImageTool.test.js` (+264/-0): Comprehensive test suite\n\n**Key Changes:**\n- Removed automatic image processing from AI responses (lines 1725-1726 in ProbeAgent.js)\n- Added `readImage` tool implementation with security validation\n- Integrated tool into agent's tool system and allowedTools framework\n- Added 12 comprehensive test cases covering functionality, security, and integration\n\n## Architecture & Impact Assessment\n\n### What This PR Accomplishes\n1. **Bug Fix**: Prevents unintended automatic image loading from AI responses\n2. **New Feature**: Provides explicit `readImage` tool for controlled image access\n3. **Security**: Maintains path validation, file size limits (20MB), and format restrictions\n4. **Backward Compatibility**: Preserves existing automatic processing for user messages and tool results\n\n### Key Technical Changes\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TD\n A[AI Response] --> B{Image Reference?}\n B -->|Before PR| C[Auto-load Image]\n B -->|After PR| D[Use readImage Tool]\n D --> E[Explicit Load Request]\n E --> F[Security Validation]\n F --> G[Load Image]\n \n H[User Message] --> I[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n J[Tool Result] --> K[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n```\n\n### Affected System Components\n- **ProbeAgent Core**: Modified image processing flow in `answer()` method\n- **Tool System**: Added `readImage` to `toolImplementations` and `allowedTools`\n- **Security Layer**: Leverages existing `loadImageIfValid()` for path and size validation\n- **Test Suite**: New comprehensive test coverage for the tool\n\n## Scope Discovery & Context Expansion\n\n### Image Loading Behavior Matrix\n\n| Source | Before | After | Security Impact |\n|--------|--------|-------|----------------|\n| User messages | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Low - user-controlled |\n| AI responses | ❌ Automatic (bug) | ✅ Explicit via tool only | High - prevents unintended access |\n| Tool results | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Medium - tool-controlled |\n\n### Security Features\n- **Path Validation**: Restricted to allowed directories via `allowedFolders`\n- **File Size Limits**: 20MB maximum to prevent OOM attacks\n- **Format Validation**: Only png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, svg supported\n- **Duplicate Prevention**: Uses `pendingImages` Map to avoid reloading\n\n### Integration Points\n- **Tool Filtering**: Respects `allowedTools` configuration\n- **Error Handling**: Clear error messages for missing/invalid files\n- **Image Caching**: Integrates with existing `pendingImages` system\n- **Message Flow**: Works with `prepareMessagesWithImages()` for multimodal AI calls\n\n### Test Coverage\nThe new test suite covers:\n- Tool availability and configuration\n- Successful image loading with various formats\n- Error handling (missing files, invalid paths, missing parameters)\n- Security validation (path restrictions, file size limits)\n- Integration with existing automatic image processing\n- Duplicate loading prevention\n\n## Review Recommendations\n\n**Focus Areas:**\n1. **Security**: Verify path validation logic in `loadImageIfValid()` is sufficient\n2. **Performance**: Ensure 20MB file size limit is appropriate for your use case\n3. **Integration**: Test with existing workflows that rely on automatic image loading\n4. **Configuration**: Check `allowedTools` behavior with the new tool\n\n**Risk Assessment:** Low - The changes are well-contained, leverage existing security infrastructure, and include comprehensive test coverage. The bug fix prevents a potential security issue while adding useful functionality.",

The solution introduces a new `readImage` tool that gives AI explicit control over image loading while maintaining security and performance.\n\n## Files Changed Analysis\n\n**Modified Files:**\n- `npm/src/agent/ProbeAgent.js` (+25/-4): Core agent implementation with tool integration and bug fix\n- `npm/src/agent/tools.js` (+25/-0): Tool definition and XML schema\n- `npm/tests/unit/readImageTool.test.js` (+264/-0): Comprehensive test suite\n\n**Key Changes:**\n- Removed automatic image processing from AI responses (lines 1725-1726 in ProbeAgent.js)\n- Added `readImage` tool implementation with security validation\n- Integrated tool into agent's tool system and allowedTools framework\n- Added 12 comprehensive test cases covering functionality, security, and integration\n\n## Architecture & Impact Assessment\n\n### What This PR Accomplishes\n1. **Bug Fix**: Prevents unintended automatic image loading from AI responses\n2. **New Feature**: Provides explicit `readImage` tool for controlled image access\n3. **Security**: Maintains path validation, file size limits (20MB), and format restrictions\n4. **Backward Compatibility**: Preserves existing automatic processing for user messages and tool results\n\n### Key Technical Changes\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TD\n A[AI Response] --> B{Image Reference?}\n B -->|Before PR| C[Auto-load Image]\n B -->|After PR| D[Use readImage Tool]\n D --> E[Explicit Load Request]\n E --> F[Security Validation]\n F --> G[Load Image]\n \n H[User Message] --> I[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n J[Tool Result] --> K[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n```\n\n### Affected System Components\n- **ProbeAgent Core**: Modified image processing flow in `answer()` method\n- **Tool System**: Added `readImage` to `toolImplementations` and `allowedTools`\n- **Security Layer**: Leverages existing `loadImageIfValid()` for path and size validation\n- **Test Suite**: New comprehensive test coverage for the tool\n\n## Scope Discovery & Context Expansion\n\n### Image Loading Behavior Matrix\n\n| Source | Before | After | Security Impact |\n|--------|--------|-------|----------------|\n| User messages | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Low - user-controlled |\n| AI responses | ❌ Automatic (bug) | ✅ Explicit via tool only | High - prevents unintended access |\n| Tool results | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Medium - tool-controlled |\n\n### Security Features\n- **Path Validation**: Restricted to allowed directories via `allowedFolders`\n- **File Size Limits**: 20MB maximum to prevent OOM attacks\n- **Format Validation**: Only png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, svg supported\n- **Duplicate Prevention**: Uses `pendingImages` Map to avoid reloading\n\n### Integration Points\n- **Tool Filtering**: Respects `allowedTools` configuration\n- **Error Handling**: Clear error messages for missing/invalid files\n- **Image Caching**: Integrates with existing `pendingImages` system\n- **Message Flow**: Works with `prepareMessagesWithImages()` for multimodal AI calls\n\n### Test Coverage\nThe new test suite covers:\n- Tool availability and configuration\n- Successful image loading with various formats\n- Error handling (missing files, invalid paths, missing parameters)\n- Security validation (path restrictions, file size limits)\n- Integration with existing automatic image processing\n- Duplicate loading prevention\n\n## Review Recommendations\n\n**Focus Areas:**\n1. **Security**: Verify path validation logic in `loadImageIfValid()` is sufficient\n2. **Performance**: Ensure 20MB file size limit is appropriate for your use case\n3. **Integration**: Test with existing workflows that rely on automatic image loading\n4. **Configuration**: Check `allowedTools` behavior with the new tool\n\n**Risk Assessment:** Low - The changes are well-contained, leverage existing security infrastructure, and include comprehensive test coverage. The bug fix prevents a potential security issue while adding useful functionality.",

The solution introduces a new `readImage` tool that gives AI explicit control over image loading while maintaining security and performance.\n\n## Files Changed Analysis\n\n**Modified Files:**\n- `npm/src/agent/ProbeAgent.js` (+25/-4): Core agent implementation with tool integration and bug fix\n- `npm/src/agent/tools.js` (+25/-0): Tool definition and XML schema\n- `npm/tests/unit/readImageTool.test.js` (+264/-0): Comprehensive test suite\n\n**Key Changes:**\n- Removed automatic image processing from AI responses (lines 1725-1726 in ProbeAgent.js)\n- Added `readImage` tool implementation with security validation\n- Integrated tool into agent's tool system and allowedTools framework\n- Added 12 comprehensive test cases covering functionality, security, and integration\n\n## Architecture & Impact Assessment\n\n### What This PR Accomplishes\n1. **Bug Fix**: Prevents unintended automatic image loading from AI responses\n2. **New Feature**: Provides explicit `readImage` tool for controlled image access\n3. **Security**: Maintains path validation, file size limits (20MB), and format restrictions\n4. **Backward Compatibility**: Preserves existing automatic processing for user messages and tool results\n\n### Key Technical Changes\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TD\n A[AI Response] --> B{Image Reference?}\n B -->|Before PR| C[Auto-load Image]\n B -->|After PR| D[Use readImage Tool]\n D --> E[Explicit Load Request]\n E --> F[Security Validation]\n F --> G[Load Image]\n \n H[User Message] --> I[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n J[Tool Result] --> K[Auto-load - Unchanged]\n```\n\n### Affected System Components\n- **ProbeAgent Core**: Modified image processing flow in `answer()` method\n- **Tool System**: Added `readImage` to `toolImplementations` and `allowedTools`\n- **Security Layer**: Leverages existing `loadImageIfValid()` for path and size validation\n- **Test Suite**: New comprehensive test coverage for the tool\n\n## Scope Discovery & Context Expansion\n\n### Image Loading Behavior Matrix\n\n| Source | Before | After | Security Impact |\n|--------|--------|-------|----------------|\n| User messages | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Low - user-controlled |\n| AI responses | ❌ Automatic (bug) | ✅ Explicit via tool only | High - prevents unintended access |\n| Tool results | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic (unchanged) | Medium - tool-controlled |\n\n### Security Features\n- **Path Validation**: Restricted to allowed directories via `allowedFolders`\n- **File Size Limits**: 20MB maximum to prevent OOM attacks\n- **Format Validation**: Only png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, svg supported\n- **Duplicate Prevention**: Uses `pendingImages` Map to avoid reloading\n\n### Integration Points\n- **Tool Filtering**: Respects `allowedTools` configuration\n- **Error Handling**: Clear error messages for missing/invalid files\n- **Image Caching**: Integrates with existing `pendingImages` system\n- **Message Flow**: Works with `prepareMessagesWithImages()` for multimodal AI calls\n\n### Test Coverage\nThe new test suite covers:\n- Tool availability and configuration\n- Successful image loading with various formats\n- Error handling (missing files, invalid paths, missing parameters)\n- Security validation (path restrictions, file size limits)\n- Integration with existing automatic image processing\n- Duplicate loading prevention\n\n## Review Recommendations\n\n**Focus Areas:**\n1. **Security**: Verify path validation logic in `loadImageIfValid()` is sufficient\n2. **Performance**: Ensure 20MB file size limit is appropriate for your use case\n3. **Integration**: Test with existing workflows that rely on automatic image loading\n4. **Configuration**: Check `allowedTools` behavior with the new tool\n\n**Risk Assessment:** Low - The changes are well-contained, leverage existing security infrastructure, and include comprehensive test coverage. The bug fix prevents a potential security issue while adding useful functionality.",
