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

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

## Why adb_unroot is rated High

This tool executes a command that restarts a system service (adbd) on a connected Android device, changing its privilege level. While not destructive (the change is reversible by calling adb_root or restarting the device), it is an active operation that modifies system state and triggers external execution on the target device.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'adb_unroot' and description 'Restart adbd without root permissions' indicate this triggers a restart operation on the Android Debug Bridge daemon, which is an external system operation with side effects."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents invoke adb_unroot 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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