Part of the AndroJack MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call android_api36_compliance to retrieve information from AndroJack MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though android_api36_compliance only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Android 16 compliance reference — mandatory for Google Play by August 2026. Apps on ≥600dp devices (tablets, foldables) CANNOT lock orientation or restrict resizability. AI tools generate android:screenOrientation='portrait' and android:resizeableActivity='false' — both produce App Compatibility warnings in Play Console and search demotion. Foldable users spend 14x more on apps. Tablet+phone users spend 9x more. Topics: 'compliance' (illegal manifest flags + correct patterns), 'layouts' (4 canonical adaptive layouts with code), 'checklist' (Play Store quality tier checklist), 'predictive back' (required for API 36 targets).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AndroJack MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for android_api36_compliance. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AndroJack MCP MCP server.
android_api36_compliance is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the android_api36_compliance rule in your Intercept 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for android_api36_compliance. 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.
android_api36_compliance is provided by the AndroJack MCP MCP server (androjack-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
