What adb_top does on Deepadb

AI agents call adb_top 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_top is rated Low

This tool queries and returns performance statistics (CPU and memory usage) from an Android device via ADB. It performs no side effects, creates no changes, executes no arbitrary code, and deletes nothing. It is purely informational, analogous to running the 'top' command for observation only. Even in a misuse scenario, an AI agent cannot cause harm by reading these metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'adb_top' and description 'Get current CPU and memory usage snapshot' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves system metrics without modification or execution of arbitrary commands.

The rule that runs adb_top 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_top, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adb_top": {}
  }
}
