Multi-device sync testing. create_group: bind devices to roles. run: coordinated steps with barriers. assert_cross: act on A, verify on B. status: group details. list: all groups. destroy: cleanup.

## Facts

- Tool: `sync`
- 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": "sync",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why sync is rated High

The tool's primary purpose is to execute coordinated actions across multiple devices simultaneously (run coordinated steps, assert cross-device interactions). While it includes a 'destroy' sub-action for cleanup, the dominant use case is triggering and orchestrating multi-device operations.

From the tool's own definition: "'coordinated steps with barriers', 'act on A, verify on B', 'run: coordinated steps' — orchestrates active operations across multiple devices; 'destroy: cleanup' implies teardown but primary function is multi-device execution coordination"

## Use case

AI agents invoke sync 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": {
    "sync": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sync_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
