Lista os AVDs disponíveis na máquina via emulator -list-avds.
AI agents call avd_list to retrieve information from AVD 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 returns a list of Android Virtual Devices without side effects. It is purely informational (Read category). The blast radius is minimal since it only returns static configuration data about available emulators. Severity is low because listing AVDs poses no risk to data integrity, system state, or security.
From the tool's definition 'Lista os AVDs disponíveis' - lists available AVDs via emulator -list-avds command; retrieves information without modifying or executing operations on devices

Register the AVD MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for avd_list: 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 AVD MCP Server. Nothing to install.
avd_list 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 avd_list 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 avd_list. 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.
avd_list is provided by the AVD MCP Server MCP server (jramalho/avd-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
