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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "adb_clear_data",
    "arguments": {}

## Why adb_clear_data is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes all data associated with an Android package, including databases, cache, and user state. This is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone and matches the Destructive category definition: "irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone." The blast radius is critical as an AI agent misusing this could wipe all data from arbitrary applications, including…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'DESTRUCTIVE — irreversibly wipes all app data, cache, databases, shared preferences, and login state.' The name and description both clearly indicate irreversible data deletion."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call adb_clear_data to permanently remove resources in Deepadb, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "adb_clear_data"
  ]
}
```
