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

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

## Why reconnect is rated High

Reconnecting to a Frida gadget re-establishes an instrumentation session on a running Android process, triggering external operations against a live process. While it sounds benign, it re-enables dynamic analysis/injection capabilities and interacts with external process state.

From the tool's own definition: "Reconnect to the gadget after an app crash"

## Use case

AI agents invoke reconnect to trigger actions in Frida Agent MCP. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Frida Agent MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "reconnect": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "reconnect_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
