What list_all_classes does on Jadx MCP Server

AI agents call list_all_classes to retrieve information from Jadx MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_all_classes needs a policy

This is a straightforward read operation that lists metadata (class names) from a decompiled Java/Android application. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. The tool is purely informational and aligns with the 'list' operation category under Read.

From the tool's definition Tool returns a paginated list of class names with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. Description explicitly states 'Returns' (retrieval only) with pagination parameters (limit, offset) typical of query operations.

How to control list_all_classes

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 list_all_classes:

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

list_all_classes 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.
