WHAT IT DOES

What frida_server_stop does on Ya Frida

AI agents invoke frida_server_stop 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 frida_server_stop is rated High

Stopping a service is an Execute action—it triggers an external operation (stopping the Frida instrumentation server) whose effects depend on device state. While not destructive (the server can be restarted), it disrupts device functionality and could cause connected debugging sessions to fail or leave the device in an unstable state.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'frida_server_stop' and description states it will 'Stop frida-server on the device.' This performs a server shutdown operation on a remote device.
