WHAT IT DOES

What extract_with_root does on Android Forensics ADB MCP Server

AI agents invoke extract_with_root to trigger actions in Android Forensics ADB MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why extract_with_root is rated High

The name implies executing privileged (root-level) extraction operations on an Android device. Root access allows arbitrary command execution and data extraction. Description is empty, lowering confidence, but context from server description and sibling tools strongly suggests elevated-privilege execution. Rated high severity due to unrestricted root-level access potential.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'extract_with_root' on a server described as enabling 'secure command execution' and 'artifact collection' via ADB; sibling tools include 'adb_shell_command' suggesting privileged shell access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs extract_with_root safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Android Forensics ADB MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For extract_with_root, this is the rule to start with:

extract_with_root Rate-limited

extract_with_root stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
