Get all clickable/interactive elements on screen with their coordinates.
AI agents call get_clickable_elements to retrieve information from Enhanced ADB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current UI state and returns information about interactive elements. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. While it enables reconnaissance for subsequent actions, the tool itself is purely informational (Read category). Severity is low because knowing element positions poses minimal risk even if misused—it cannot alter system state or device behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get all clickable/interactive elements on screen with their coordinates' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
