stop_session

Stop the active scrcpy session. Tools will fall back to ADB commands.

Part of the Scrcpy server.

stop_session can trigger actions in Scrcpy, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke stop_session to trigger processes or run actions in Scrcpy. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

stop_session can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stop_session gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so stop_session only ever does what you allow.

What does the stop_session tool do? +

Stop the active scrcpy session. Tools will fall back to ADB commands.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Scrcpy MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on stop_session? +

Register the Scrcpy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stop_session: 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 Scrcpy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is stop_session? +

stop_session is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit stop_session? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_session 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.

How do I block stop_session completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stop_session. 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.

What MCP server provides stop_session? +

stop_session is provided by the Scrcpy MCP server (scrcpy-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Scrcpy tool call.
