nemu_relay
Connect to a remote native-emulator session via IPC relay. Proxies nemu operations through a named pipe (Windows) or Unix domain socket (Linux/macOS) with JSON-RPC over length-prefixed frames. Use to drive ARM64 nemu sessions on a Linux host from a Windows MCP server (or vice versa).

What nemu_relay does on Jshookmcp
AI agents invoke nemu_relay 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.
Why nemu_relay is rated High
Drives remote emulator sessions via IPC, executing arbitrary operations cross-platform.
From the tool's definition Connect to remote native-emulator session, proxies nemu operations
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs nemu_relay 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 nemu_relay, this is the rule to start with:
nemu_relay 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 Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every nemu_relay call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about nemu_relay
Connect to a remote native-emulator session via IPC relay. Proxies nemu operations through a named pipe (Windows) or Unix domain socket (Linux/macOS) with JSON-RPC over length-prefixed frames. Use to drive ARM64 nemu sessions on a Linux host from a Windows MCP server (or vice versa). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Jshookmcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Jshook MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nemu_relay: 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 Jshookmcp. Nothing to install.
nemu_relay is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the nemu_relay 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 nemu_relay. 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.
nemu_relay is provided by the Jshook MCP server (@jshookmcp/jshook). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
