## Why list_devices is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves a list of devices managed by an enterprise. It performs no side effects, creation, modification, or deletion of data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_devices' and description states it 'Lists devices for a given enterprise' — a retrieval operation with no modification."

## Use case

AI agents call list_devices 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": {
    "list_devices": {}
  }
}
```
