Why pull_sdcard needs a policy

Although the blast radius is high (full storage access could expose sensitive user data, credentials, photos, messages), the tool itself performs only data retrieval with no destructive, executable, or financial side effects. It falls squarely in the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Pull entire SD card / internal storage content' — this retrieves and copies data from device storage without modifying or deleting it. The operation is read-only acquisition.

How to control pull_sdcard

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 pull_sdcard:

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

pull_sdcard 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.
