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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "get_application",
    "arguments": {}

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Android Management API:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_application": {}
  }
}
```
