What frida_ps does on Ya Frida
AI agents call frida_ps 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.
Why frida_ps is rated Low
frida_ps appears to list running processes on a target device via Frida instrumentation. This is a read-only query with no data modification or code execution side effects. However, severity is medium rather than low because listing processes on a compromised device could reveal sensitive applications and potentially aid in further attacks. The empty description lowers confidence slightly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'frida_ps' combined with server's purpose (Frida dynamic instrumentation for managing devices, processes, scripts, memory). The 'ps' convention in Unix/Linux refers to process listing, a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs frida_ps 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_ps, this is the rule to start with:
frida_ps is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ya Frida, apply this rule, and every frida_ps call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about frida_ps
frida_ps is a read tool on the Ya Frida MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ya Frida MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ya Frida MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for frida_ps: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ya Frida. Nothing to install.
frida_ps is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the frida_ps rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for frida_ps. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
frida_ps is provided by the Ya Frida MCP server (1shin-7/ya-frida-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
