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

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

## Why adb_gradle is rated High

Gradle tasks can execute arbitrary code during the build process, including custom plugins, shell commands, and side effects that depend on the task arguments. This falls squarely into Execute rather than Write because the effects are not limited to reversible data modifications—Gradle can invoke compilers, run tests, download dependencies, and trigger external systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'adb_gradle' and description 'Run a Gradle task in an Android project directory' indicate execution of arbitrary Gradle build tasks, which can compile code, run tests, execute plugins, and trigger external operations."

## Use case

AI agents invoke adb_gradle 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_gradle": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "adb_gradle_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
