Why analyze_screen needs a policy

This tool reads and retrieves the current state of a mobile screen's view hierarchy without modifying, executing commands, or destructive actions. It is analogous to the sibling tool 'analyze_url' (Web DOM probe), both serving as passive inspection utilities for QA analysis. The severity is low because misuse would only expose screen structure information without enabling harmful actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'analyze_screen' performs a mobile DOM probe via 'maestro hierarchy' dump to inspect current iOS Simulator / Android Emulator state; 'analyze' and 'dump' are read-only introspection operations with no side effects.

How to control analyze_screen

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mk Qa Master, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_screen:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_screen": {}
  }
}

analyze_screen is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mk Qa Master — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
