WHAT IT DOES

What network does on Claude Mobile

AI agents invoke network 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.

RISK

Why network is rated High

This tool can both read and modify network configuration on a mobile device. Setting an HTTP proxy could redirect all traffic through an attacker-controlled server (enabling man-in-the-middle attacks), and toggling airplane mode can disrupt all network connectivity.

From the tool's definition proxy: get/set HTTP proxy. airplane: toggle airplane mode. traffic: app network traffic stats. connectivity: connection type/state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs network 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 network, this is the rule to start with:

network Rate-limited

network 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.

FAQ

Questions about network

What does the network tool do? +

Network Layer. traffic: app network traffic stats. connectivity: connection type/state. proxy: get/set HTTP proxy. airplane: toggle airplane mode. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claude Mobile MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on network? +

Register the Claude Mobile MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network: 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.

What risk level is network? +

network is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit network? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the network 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.

How do I block network completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for network. 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.

What MCP server provides network? +

network 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.
