Why get_all_resource_file_names needs a policy

This is a pure query operation that retrieves and enumerates metadata about an APK's resources. It has no destructive, executable, or modifying capabilities. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only enumerate resource names, which provides reconnaissance data but cannot alter the APK or trigger unwanted code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool returns a list of resource file names from an APK with optional pagination (limit/offset). The description explicitly states it 'returns a list' with no capability to modify, delete, or execute anything. No side effects.

How to control get_all_resource_file_names

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

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

get_all_resource_file_names 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 Jadx MCP Server — 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.
