THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_battery_level needs a policy

This tool retrieves device state information (battery level) without modifying, executing operations, or affecting the device. It is a passive data query operation with minimal security risk, as battery level is non-sensitive device metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_battery_level' and description states it 'Returns the battery level of the connected Android device.' The verb 'Returns' and 'get' prefix indicate a read-only query operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_battery_level

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

policy.json

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

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

Create a free account and register Ultimate Android MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
