WHAT IT DOES

What adb_selinux_disable does on Renef

AI agents invoke adb_selinux_disable to trigger actions in Renef. 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_selinux_disable is rated High

Disabling SELinux enforcement is a security configuration change that weakens the Android device's mandatory access control, allowing processes to bypass security policies. This is an Execute-level action (running a privileged system command to change security state) with high severity since it exposes the entire device to elevated risk by removing kernel-level security enforcement.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adb_selinux_disable safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Renef, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For adb_selinux_disable, this is the rule to start with:

adb_selinux_disable Rate-limited

adb_selinux_disable 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.
