What get_application does on Android Management API
AI agents call get_application to retrieve information from Android Management API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | — | The name of the application in the form `enterprises/{enterpriseId}/applications/{package_name}`. |
languageCode | string | — | The preferred language for localized application info, as a BCP47 tag (e.g. "en-US", "de"). If not specified the default language of the application will be use |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_application is rated Low
This tool retrieves and returns application metadata within an enterprise Android management context. It performs no data modification, deletion, or execution. However, the severity is medium rather than low because application details in enterprise management contexts may include sensitive information (package names, versions, installation status, permissions) that could be used to enumerate or plan attacks on…
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Gets application details" – a retrieval operation with no side effects. The sibling tools (get_device, get_enterprise, list_devices, etc.) confirm this is a read-only API for querying enterprise Android management resources.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_application safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Android Management API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_application, this is the rule to start with:
get_application is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Android Management API, apply this rule, and every get_application call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_application
Gets application details for a given enterprise and application ID. Requires the resource name in the format: enterprises/{enterpriseId}/applications/{applicationId}. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android Management API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_application accepts 2 parameters: name, languageCode. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Android Management API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_application: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Android Management API. Nothing to install.
get_application 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 get_application rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for get_application. 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.
get_application is provided by the Android Management API MCP server (https://androidmanagement.googleapis.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
