WHAT IT DOES

What frida_add_remote does on Ya Frida

AI agents use frida_add_remote 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 frida_add_remote is rated Medium

This tool establishes a network connection to a remote Frida instrumentation server. It creates/modifies state (a new remote connection) but does not execute code or scripts on its own. It is reversible (can be disconnected). The blast radius is medium because a successful connection enables further dynamic instrumentation operations on remote processes.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

frida_add_remote Rate-limited

frida_add_remote 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.
