Create backup of a specific application package.
AI agents use create_package_backup to create or update resources in Android Forensics ADB MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Android Forensics ADB MCP Server environment.
This tool writes backup data to storage but does not execute arbitrary commands, delete data, or move money. It is contextually less severe than Execute (which adb_shell_command represents on this server) because it is scoped to a single package backup rather than arbitrary shell execution. However, the forensic context and potential to exfiltrate sensitive app data elevates severity from 'low' to 'medium'.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Create backup of a specific application package' — a write operation that creates (generates) data artifacts without deletion or financial impact. The backup is reversible and non-destructive.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_package_backup gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Android Forensics ADB MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_package_backup:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_package_backup": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_package_backup_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_package_backup 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Create backup of a specific application package. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Android Forensics ADB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Android Forensics ADB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_package_backup: 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 Android Forensics ADB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_package_backup is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_package_backup 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 create_package_backup. 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.
create_package_backup is provided by the Android Forensics ADB MCP Server MCP server (0x-professor/droidforensics-suite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Android Forensics ADB MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
