WHAT IT DOES

What android_disconnect does on Android

AI agents use android_disconnect to create or update resources in Android, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Android environment.

RISK

Why android_disconnect is rated Medium

This tool performs a connection state modification rather than data deletion. Disconnecting from a device and releasing resources is a reversible action - the device remains intact and can be reconnected to. This is Write category (modifies state reversibly) rather than Destructive (which would require permanent data loss).

From the tool's definition 'Disconnect from current Android device and release ADB resources' - this modifies the state of the connection to an Android device by terminating it, which is a reversible state change (can reconnect).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs android_disconnect safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Android, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For android_disconnect, this is the rule to start with:

android_disconnect Rate-limited

android_disconnect stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Android, apply this rule, and every android_disconnect call is checked against it from then on.
