Why dump_database needs a policy

Despite the empty description, 'dump_database' most naturally refers to extracting/exporting database contents, which is a read operation retrieving forensic artifacts. However, the actual implementation could potentially modify data if it involves database access commands, so severity is marked high due to the sensitive forensic context (device data extraction can expose user privacy).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'dump_database' and server context indicates data acquisition from Android devices for forensic investigation.

How to control dump_database

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 dump_database:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dump_database": {}
  }
}

dump_database is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Android Forensics ADB MCP Server — 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.
