WHAT IT DOES

What toggle_airplane_mode does on Enhanced ADB MCP Server

AI agents invoke toggle_airplane_mode 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 toggle_airplane_mode needs a policy

Toggling airplane mode is an external operation with significant impact: it can disrupt all network communications on the device, potentially breaking running apps, active calls, or ongoing data transfers. It is reversible (can be toggled back), so not Destructive, but it executes a privileged system action with broad blast radius if misused during testing or production device management.

From the tool's definition 'Enable or disable airplane mode' — triggers a system-level device state change that cuts all wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth)
