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

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

## Why adb_devices is rated Low

This tool performs a simple enumeration/listing of connected devices and their metadata. It has no side effects, does not modify state, does not execute code, and does not access sensitive data beyond what is already known to the user (device list). The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only gain visibility into connected devices, which is informational only.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'adb_devices' and description 'List all ADB-connected devices with their state and properties' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves device information without modification, deletion, or execution of code."

## Use case

AI agents call adb_devices to retrieve information from Ya Frida 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 Ya Frida:

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