AI agents call window-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 displays information about active windows on an Android device. It retrieves window properties, layout details, or system UI information for inspection purposes only. There is no modification of data, execution of commands, deletion, or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'window-info' and description '展示系统窗口的详细信息' (show detailed information about system windows) indicates retrieval of window metadata without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access window-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 window-info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"window-info": {}
}
}window-info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
展示系统窗口的详细信息. 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 window-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.
window-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 window-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 window-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.
window-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.
