WHAT IT DOES

What get_device does on Android Management API

AI agents call get_device 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 device in the form `enterprises/{enterpriseId}/devices/{deviceId}`.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_device is rated Low

This is a read operation that retrieves device information without side effects. However, severity is elevated to 'high' because: (1) Android Management API context indicates enterprise/mobile device management with sensitive operational control; (2) device details in enterprise MDM contexts typically include security configuration, enrollment status, compliance posture, and potentially user association data; (3)…

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Gets device details' with specified resource name format (enterprises/{enterpriseId}/devices/{deviceId}). Returns queried data with no modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_device 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_device, this is the rule to start with:

get_device Allowed

get_device is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_device": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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