What adb_revoke_permission does on Deepadb
AI agents invoke adb_revoke_permission 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.
Why adb_revoke_permission is rated High
This tool modifies the permission state of an installed package by revoking a runtime permission. While it changes system state, it is reversible (permissions can be re-granted), so it doesn't qualify as Destructive. It triggers an external operation (ADB permission management) whose effect depends on the package and permission specified, placing it in Execute.
From the tool's definition Revoke a runtime permission from a package. Useful for resetting permission state to test first-run flows or denial handling.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs adb_revoke_permission 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_revoke_permission, this is the rule to start with:
adb_revoke_permission stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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_revoke_permission call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about adb_revoke_permission
Revoke a runtime permission from a package. Useful for resetting permission state to test first-run flows or denial handling. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Deepadb MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Deepadb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adb_revoke_permission: 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_revoke_permission is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the adb_revoke_permission 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_revoke_permission. 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_revoke_permission 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.
