WHAT IT DOES

What adb_reboot does on Ya Frida

AI agents invoke adb_reboot to trigger actions in Ya Frida. 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.

RISK

Why adb_reboot is rated High

Rebooting a device is a disruptive external operation that terminates all running processes, closes connections, and interrupts services. While not permanently destructive (data is preserved), it causes significant disruption and is not a simple read or write operation. It qualifies as Execute due to triggering a major system-level operation.

From the tool's definition "Reboot the device" - triggers an external operation (device reboot) that interrupts all running processes and services

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adb_reboot 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_reboot, this is the rule to start with:

adb_reboot Rate-limited

adb_reboot stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adb_reboot": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "adb_reboot_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-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_reboot call is checked against it from then on.

What risk level is adb_reboot? +

adb_reboot is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit adb_reboot? +
