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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "adb_ci_wait_boot",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why adb_ci_wait_boot is rated High

This is Execute because it actively triggers monitoring of device boot state and waits for launcher initialization—actions that depend on device configuration and can affect subsequent operations in CI pipelines. While non-destructive, it manipulates device state and execution flow.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'adb_ci_wait_boot' waits for device boot completion by polling system properties (sys.boot_completed) and launcher readiness. This is a device control operation that triggers and monitors external system state changes via ADB."

## Use case

AI agents invoke adb_ci_wait_boot to trigger actions in Deepadb. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Deepadb:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adb_ci_wait_boot": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
