WHAT IT DOES

What get_policy does on Android Management API

AI agents call get_policy 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 policy in the form `enterprises/{enterpriseId}/policies/{policyId}`.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_policy is rated Low

This tool retrieves policy configuration data for an enterprise without side effects. While the Android Management API controls sensitive enterprise resources, the get_policy action itself is read-only and poses minimal risk compared to tools that could deploy policies, modify device settings, or execute commands. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure of policy metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_policy' and description states 'Gets a policy' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution semantics. The resource is queried by ID with a GET-like pattern.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_policy 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_policy, this is the rule to start with:

get_policy Allowed

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

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

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_policy call is checked against it from then on.
