WHAT IT DOES

What network_connectivity does on Claude Mobile

AI agents call network_connectivity 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

network_connectivity Allowed

network_connectivity is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
