AI agents call gateway_phone_inventory_report to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
apps | array | Yes | Installed apps. Each: {packageName|packageId, label?, system?}. |
device | string | Yes | The reporting phone's device id (the key the inventory is stored under) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Even though gateway_phone_inventory_report 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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Personal Agent Gateway: the user's OWN phone REPORTS its installed (launchable) apps so the agent can mirror them onto a clone. Stored local-only (~/.yaver/nodes/<device>/inventory.json) — never Convex; package ids + labels only, no secrets. Android only (iOS cannot enumerate installed apps). This is the push the Yaver mobile app makes; pair it with gateway_clone_from_phone. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
gateway_phone_inventory_report accepts 2 parameters: apps, device. Required: apps, device. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_phone_inventory_report: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
gateway_phone_inventory_report is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gateway_phone_inventory_report 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 gateway_phone_inventory_report. 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.
gateway_phone_inventory_report is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
