What mobile_hermes_doctor does on Yaver
AI agents invoke mobile_hermes_doctor to trigger actions in Yaver. 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
device_id | string | — | Optional owned Yaver agent device id/name/alias that should run the diagnosis. Hermes doctoring inspects a CHECKOUT, so the honest answer comes from the machine |
directory | string | — | Project or monorepo directory (default: agent work dir) |
availableModules | array | — | Optional native module names reported by the paired Yaver mobile runtime |
availableModuleMap | object | — | Optional native module name to version map from the paired Yaver mobile runtime |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why mobile_hermes_doctor is rated High
This tool orchestrates a complex diagnostic and build workflow for mobile development. While primarily diagnostic (checking states), its core function is to trigger external build and reload operations on a mobile device via Yaver. The side effects—code compilation, app reloading, dependency installation—depend on tool arguments and project context, making it Execute rather than Read.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'checks local tools, dependency install state, Hermes compiler readiness, prior bundle state, and native-module compatibility, then returns the exact MCP next actions to prepare/build before reloading'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs mobile_hermes_doctor safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mobile_hermes_doctor, this is the rule to start with:
mobile_hermes_doctor 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 Yaver, apply this rule, and every mobile_hermes_doctor call is checked against it from then on.
