WHAT IT DOES

What adb_push does on Ya Frida

AI agents use adb_push to create or update resources in Ya Frida, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ya Frida environment.

RISK

Why adb_push is rated Medium

This tool writes or modifies data on a connected Android device by transferring files from the local system. While not inherently destructive (files can be overwritten or deleted), the ability to push arbitrary files to a device—potentially system binaries, scripts, or configuration files—could enable code execution or system compromise if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition adb_push: 'Push a local file or directory to the device.' The verb 'push' indicates uploading/writing data to a target device, and the description explicitly states it transfers local files to the device.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adb_push safely

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

adb_push Rate-limited

adb_push stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ya Frida, apply this rule, and every adb_push call is checked against it from then on.
