What intent_deeplink does on Claude Mobile
AI agents invoke intent_deeplink to trigger actions in Claude Mobile. 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.
Why intent_deeplink is rated High
Opening a deep link URI executes an action on a mobile device that can trigger app launches, navigation flows, or external operations depending on the URI argument. This is an Execute-category action with high severity because a malicious or crafted deep link could trigger sensitive in-app actions, authentication flows, or data access on the device.
From the tool's definition "Open a deep link URI on Android or iOS. On Android uses" — triggers external navigation/operations on a mobile device via deep link URI

The rule that runs intent_deeplink 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 intent_deeplink, this is the rule to start with:
intent_deeplink 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every intent_deeplink call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Claude Mobile MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for intent_deeplink: 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.
intent_deeplink is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the intent_deeplink 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 intent_deeplink. 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.
