What adb_test_gen_from_ui does on Deepadb
AI agents invoke adb_test_gen_from_ui 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_test_gen_from_ui is rated High
This tool performs active operations on a connected Android device: it taps interactive elements (triggering UI actions), takes screenshots, and runs verification logic. These are real executions on the device that could trigger unintended app behavior, data submission, purchases, or state changes depending on what UI elements exist.
From the tool's definition "generate a test workflow that taps each interactive element, takes screenshots, and verifies the app" — actively triggers UI interactions (taps), captures screenshots, and executes a workflow against a live device
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs adb_test_gen_from_ui 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_test_gen_from_ui, this is the rule to start with:
adb_test_gen_from_ui 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_test_gen_from_ui call is checked against it from then on.
