adb_neighboring_cells
List all visible cells beyond the serving cell: neighboring LTE/5G/WCDMA/GSM cells with their identities and signal strengths. Useful for cellular network surveys, coverage analysis, and radio environment characterization.

What adb_neighboring_cells does on Deepadb
AI agents call adb_neighboring_cells to retrieve information from Deepadb without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why adb_neighboring_cells is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries cellular network metadata (neighboring cell identities and signal strengths) without modifying device state, executing commands, or triggering external operations. It is purely observational, analogous to a network scan or diagnostic read. The 'adb_' prefix indicates it uses Android Debug Bridge passively to query system information.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all visible cells' and is explicitly described as useful for 'cellular network surveys, coverage analysis, and radio environment characterization'—all passive information gathering activities with no modification, deletion, or…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs adb_neighboring_cells safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Deepadb, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For adb_neighboring_cells, this is the rule to start with:
adb_neighboring_cells 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 Deepadb, apply this rule, and every adb_neighboring_cells call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about adb_neighboring_cells
List all visible cells beyond the serving cell: neighboring LTE/5G/WCDMA/GSM cells with their identities and signal strengths. Useful for cellular network surveys, coverage analysis, and radio environment characterization. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Deepadb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Deepadb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adb_neighboring_cells: 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 Deepadb. Nothing to install.
adb_neighboring_cells 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 adb_neighboring_cells 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 adb_neighboring_cells. 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.
adb_neighboring_cells is provided by the Deepadb MCP server (deepadb). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
