What accessibility does on Claude Mobile
AI agents call accessibility to retrieve information from Claude Mobile without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why accessibility is rated Low
The accessibility tool performs queries and inspections of screen accessibility properties (audit current screen, check single element, get quick score, list rules). These are non-destructive read operations that gather information about the UI state without triggering actions, executing code, or modifying device state.
From the tool's definition Tool provides audit, check, summary, and rules listing operations on accessibility—all are information retrieval with no modification or execution capabilities. No side effects mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs accessibility safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Mobile, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For accessibility, this is the rule to start with:
accessibility 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 Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every accessibility call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Claude Mobile MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for accessibility: 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 Claude Mobile. Nothing to install.
accessibility 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 accessibility 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 accessibility. 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.
accessibility is provided by the Claude Mobile MCP server (alexgladkov/claude-in-mobile). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
