WHAT IT DOES

What adb_port_forward does on Jshookmcp

AI agents invoke adb_port_forward to trigger actions in Jshookmcp. 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.

RISK

Why adb_port_forward is rated High

Port forwarding creates network tunnels between device and host, enabling external access pathways.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs adb_port_forward safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jshookmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For adb_port_forward, this is the rule to start with:

adb_port_forward Rate-limited

adb_port_forward 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.

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every adb_port_forward call is checked against it from then on.
