- `RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW`: Rate limiting time window
- `MAX_REQUESTS_PER_WINDOW`: Maximum requests per window
- `ENABLE_PII_DETECTION`: Enable/disable PII scanning
## šØ Security Best Practices
### **For Production Deployment**
1. **API Key Security**: Store API keys securely using environment variables
2. **Rate Limiting**: Configure appropriate rate limits for your use case
3. **Input Validation**: Always validate file paths and parameters
4. **Audit Logging**: Monitor the audit logs for suspicious activity
5. **Network Security**: Use HTTPS and proper CORS configuration
6. **Access Control**: Implement proper authentication for serverless deployments
### **Monitoring & Alerts**
- Monitor rate limit violations
- Track failed authentication attempts
- Alert on prompt injection detections
- Monitor file access patterns
## š”ļø Threat Model
### **Mitigated Threats**
- ā
Prompt injection attacks
- ā
Directory traversal attacks
- ā
Rate limiting bypass
- ā
PII leakage
- ā
Malicious file uploads
- ā
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
### **Additional Considerations**
- Regular security audits
- Dependency vulnerability scanning
- API key rotation
- Log monitoring and analysis
## š Performance - Production Benchmarks
### **Gemini 2.0 Flash Response Times**
- **Single Image Analysis**: 3-5 seconds (real API calls)
- **Batch Processing**: ~4 seconds per image with parallel processing
- **Supabase Upload**: 1-2 seconds (size dependent)
- **Security Validation**: <100ms (comprehensive checks)
- **Format Detection**: <50ms (binary signature analysis)
### **Resource Usage - Optimized**
- **Memory**: ~150MB base + 30MB per concurrent analysis

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct responsibility: analyzing an image, uploading to storage, and retrieving security status. There is no meaningful overlap in their primary actions.
All names are snake_case and start with a verb, but 'upload_to_supabase' introduces a destination-specific pattern while the others follow a simpler verb_noun structure. This is a minor deviation from an otherwise consistent convention.
With 3 tools, the server is tightly scoped to its core image analysis, storage, and security purposes. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or bloat.
The core workflow of analyzing an image and uploading results is covered, and the security status tool adds useful oversight. Minor gaps exist around retrieving or managing previously uploaded assets, but these are not critical for the server's stated purpose.
