AI agents call network-info to retrieve information from ADB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves network status information from an Android device via ADB. It performs no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool would only expose network information already accessible on the device, which is low-impact reconnaissance data. It clearly falls into the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'network-info' and description '查看设备网络状态信息' (view device network status information) indicate retrieval of device network state data. The verb '查看' (view/check) is passive observation without modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access network-info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ADB MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for network-info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"network-info": {}
}
}network-info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

查看设备网络状态信息. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ADB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ADB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network-info: 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 ADB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
network-info 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 network-info 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 network-info. 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.
network-info is provided by the ADB MCP Server MCP server (jiantao88/android-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from ADB MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
