What list_policies does on Android Management API
AI agents call list_policies 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
parent | string | — | The name of the enterprise in the form `enterprises/{enterpriseId}`. |
pageSize | integer | — | The requested page size. The actual page size may be fixed to a min or max value. |
pageToken | string | — | A token identifying a page of results returned by the server. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_policies is rated Low
This tool queries and returns policy data for an enterprise without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a standard enumeration endpoint typical of Read operations. Severity is low because listing policies carries minimal blast radius; the data returned is metadata about configurations rather than sensitive credentials or direct control of devices.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_policies' and description states it 'Lists policies' — a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_policies 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 list_policies, this is the rule to start with:
list_policies 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 list_policies call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_policies
Lists policies for a given enterprise. Requires the enterprise resource name in the parent field (e.g., enterprises/{enterpriseId}). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android Management API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_policies accepts 3 parameters: parent, pageSize, pageToken. 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 list_policies: 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.
list_policies 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 list_policies 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 list_policies. 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.
list_policies 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.
