Why convert-svg-to-android-drawable needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies XML drawable files on disk, which is a reversible write operation. While it doesn't delete or execute arbitrary code, the ability to write files to disk could allow an agent to create malicious drawable resources that might be packaged into an application, potentially causing UI hijacking or resource exhaustion issues.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it converts SVG to Android XML and supports "optionally writing to disk," indicating file creation/modification capabilities.

POLICY

How to control convert-svg-to-android-drawable

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Android Mcp Toolkit, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for convert-svg-to-android-drawable:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convert-svg-to-android-drawable": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "convert-svg-to-android-drawable_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

convert-svg-to-android-drawable stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
