## Facts

- Tool: `sensor`
- Server: Claude Mobile (`alexgladkov/claude-in-mobile`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/alexgladkov-claude-in-mobile.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/AlexGladkov/claude-in-mobile
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "sensor",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why sensor is rated High

This tool both reads data (notification shade) and actively manipulates device environment/state (GPS spoofing, battery simulation, thermal state). Environment simulation via GPS spoofing is particularly dangerous as it can deceive location-dependent apps or services. The most severe applicable category is Execute, as it triggers external device operations with real effects on device behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "'set GPS coordinates', 'set battery level/status', 'set thermal status', 'read notification shade' — the tool simulates/overrides hardware sensors and reads device notifications"

## Use case

AI agents invoke sensor 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Claude Mobile:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sensor": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sensor_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
