FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tools does the Appium MCP server expose?

The Appium MCP Server exposes 27 tools across 4 categories: Read, Write, Destructive, Execute. Each tool can be individually controlled with Intercept policies.

How do I enforce policies on Appium?

Download the policy scaffold, add rules (rate limits, argument validation, deny rules), then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Appium MCP server. Every tool call is evaluated against your YAML policy before execution.

Is the Appium policy free to use?

Yes. All Intercept policies are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. Download, modify, and deploy without restrictions.
