WHAT IT DOES

What check_integrity does on Android Source Explorer MCP Server

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

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why check_integrity needs a policy

This tool reads and validates the state of cached source code and indexes without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a diagnostic read operation with negligible security risk if misused—an AI agent invoking it cannot corrupt data, trigger code execution, or cause side effects. Severity is low because the tool surface is purely introspective.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Check the integrity of the local source cache and index' — a validation/inspection operation with no modification or execution of external commands.

POLICY

How to control check_integrity

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check_integrity": {}
  }
}

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

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
