# adb_multi_compare Run a command on all devices and compare outputs side by side. Highlights differences across devices. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `adb_multi_compare`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-fullread-deepadb/adb-multi-compare ## Facts - Tool: `adb_multi_compare` - Server: Deepadb (`deepadb`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-fullread-deepadb.md - Install: `npx -y deepadb` - Homepage: https://github.com/fullread/DeepADB - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "adb_multi_compare", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why adb_multi_compare is rated High This tool executes user-supplied commands on Android devices via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). The phrase 'Run a command' combined with the context of an ADB server means arbitrary shell/system commands can be invoked, making side effects dependent on the command arguments. While it only reads and compares output (not destructive), the ability to execute arbitrary commands on devices places it in Execute category. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'adb_multi_compare' and description 'Run a command on all devices and compare outputs side by side' explicitly indicates execution of arbitrary commands via ADB on connected devices." ## Use case AI agents invoke adb_multi_compare 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**.
