## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "extract_app_credentials",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why extract_app_credentials is rated Low

This tool retrieves credentials stored on an Android device—a read operation with no side effects on the device state. However, severity is rated 'high' rather than 'low' because extracted credentials are sensitive authentication data that could enable account compromise if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'extract_app_credentials' indicates retrieval of stored authentication data from Android applications."

## Use case

AI agents call extract_app_credentials to retrieve information from Android Forensics ADB MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Android Forensics ADB MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "extract_app_credentials": {}
  }
}
```
