long_press · Enhanced ADB MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What long_press does on Enhanced ADB MCP Server

AI agents invoke long_press to trigger actions in Enhanced ADB MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why long_press needs a policy

This tool executes a physical UI gesture (long press) on an Android device. It interacts with the device's screen at specified coordinates, which can trigger context menus, actions, or app-specific behaviors depending on what is at those coordinates. It is an external operation whose effects depend on arguments, fitting the Execute category.

From the tool's definition Long press at coordinates for specified duration — triggers a UI interaction/gesture on an Android device via ADB
