Toggle a checkbox element by resource ID
AI agents invoke android_uiautomator_toggle_checkbox to trigger actions in Android MCP Server. 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.
This tool performs a UI interaction on an Android device (toggling a checkbox), which is an action that triggers a state change in an external system. It fits the Execute category as it simulates user input/browser-like actions on a device. The blast radius is medium since toggling checkboxes could enable/disable settings or features, but is generally reversible by toggling again.
