What adb_plugin_list does on Deepadb
AI agents call adb_plugin_list 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_plugin_list is rated Low
This tool retrieves plugin information from the ADB system and returns it to the user. It has no side effects, does not modify state, does not execute arbitrary code or scripts, and does not delete or create resources. It is a read-only enumeration of system metadata. The blast radius is minimal — worst case an attacker gains knowledge of installed plugins, which is already visible through the Android device's UI.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'adb_plugin_list' and description states it 'List all loaded plugins and the plugin directory path' — a pure query operation with no modification or execution of commands.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs adb_plugin_list 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_plugin_list, this is the rule to start with:
adb_plugin_list 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_plugin_list call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about adb_plugin_list
List all loaded plugins and the plugin directory path. 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_plugin_list: 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_plugin_list 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_plugin_list 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_plugin_list. 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_plugin_list 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.
