droid_input

Relay a single input event to the Android device via adb: tap (x,y), text (types a string), key (keyevent keycode, e.g. 66=ENTER/67=DEL/4=BACK), or swipe (x1,y1→x2,y2 over dur ms). Lets automation drive the device, or a human-built UI forward taps/keystrokes.

Why droid_input needs a policy

Even though droid_input only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
