Get all non-data actions from Activity Resolver Table for a package Args: package_name (str): The name of the package to get actions for Returns: list[str]: A list of all non-data actions from the Activity Resolver Table for the package
AI agents call get_package_action_intents to retrieve information from Android MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a Read operation—it queries and retrieves information about a package's registered intents/actions from the Android system without modifying state or triggering execution. However, severity is elevated to medium because the retrieved intent information could be used to discover attack surfaces or prepare for malicious actions on the device.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_package_action_intents' and description 'Get all non-data actions from Activity Resolver Table for a package' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. Returns a list of strings representing available actions.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Android MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_package_action_intents:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_package_action_intents": {}
}
}get_package_action_intents is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Android MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_package_action_intents: 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 Android MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_package_action_intents 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 get_package_action_intents 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 get_package_action_intents. 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.
get_package_action_intents is provided by the Android MCP Server MCP server (minhalvp/android-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Android MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
