# get_device_identifiers Get all device identifiers for forensic tracking (IMEI, serial, etc.). Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_device_identifiers`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/get-device-identifiers ## Facts - Tool: `get_device_identifiers` - Server: Android Forensics ADB MCP Server (`0x-professor/droidforensics-suite`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite.md - Homepage: https://github.com/0x-Professor/DroidForensics-Suite - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_device_identifiers", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_device_identifiers is rated Low This tool performs a read operation that retrieves metadata and identifiers from an Android device without side effects. However, severity is rated 'high' rather than 'low' because device identifiers are sensitive personal information that could be misused for device tracking, spoofing, or identifying individuals if disclosed, creating significant privacy and security risks if accessed by an unauthorized or… From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves device identifiers (IMEI, serial, etc.) for forensic tracking with no modification or deletion of data. The verb 'get' and phrase 'acquire data' in server description indicate a read-only operation." ## Use case AI agents call get_device_identifiers 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": { "get_device_identifiers": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Android Forensics ADB MCP Server (57) - `create_full_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/create-full-backup.md - `adb_backup_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/adb-backup-device.md - `adb_connect_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/adb-connect-device.md - `adb_shell_command` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/adb-shell-command.md - `connect_to_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/connect-to-device.md - `extract_with_root` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/extract-with-root.md - `reboot_device` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/reboot-device.md - `generate_app_analysis_report` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/generate-app-analysis-report.md - `adb_devices` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/adb-devices.md - `adb_pull_data` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/adb-pull-data.md - `analyze_facebook_messenger` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-facebook-messenger.md - `analyze_gmail` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-gmail.md - `analyze_instagram` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-instagram.md - `analyze_network_connections` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-network-connections.md - `analyze_partition_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-partition-info.md - `analyze_telegram` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-telegram.md - `analyze_whatsapp` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/analyze-whatsapp.md - `capture_dmesg` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/capture-dmesg.md - `capture_logcat` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/capture-logcat.md - `check_adb_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/check-adb-status.md - `check_root_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/check-root-status.md - `collect_common_artifacts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/collect-common-artifacts.md - `collect_forensic_artifacts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/collect-forensic-artifacts.md - `create_timeline` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/create-timeline.md - `dump_database` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/dump-database.md - `dump_system_settings` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/dump-system-settings.md - `extract_app_credentials` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/extract-app-credentials.md - `extract_backup_to_tar` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/extract-backup-to-tar.md - `extract_exif_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/extract-exif-metadata.md - `extract_media_gallery_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite/extract-media-gallery-metadata.md - …and 27 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/0x-professor-droidforensics-suite.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
