Clear all data for an app (like fresh install)
AI agents call clear_app_data to permanently remove resources in Enhanced ADB MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly destroys application data without undo capability. While not system-critical, it can cause significant data loss if invoked on the wrong application by a misguided agent, particularly in testing environments where accumulated test data has value. The blast radius is limited to the targeted app but the destructive nature is certain.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'clear all data for an app' which irreversibly deletes app data, equivalent to a fresh install. The verb 'clear' combined with 'all data' indicates permanent removal of user data and application state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Clear all data for an app (like fresh install). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Enhanced ADB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Enhanced ADB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_app_data: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Enhanced ADB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
clear_app_data is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_app_data rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clear_app_data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
clear_app_data is provided by the Enhanced ADB MCP Server MCP server (rahulkr/r_adb_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
