Get current device orientation (portrait/landscape). No app connection required.
AI agents call get_orientation to retrieve information from React Native without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves device state information (portrait/landscape orientation) without modifying, executing, or affecting any system state. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only obtain orientation data, which poses no security or operational risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_orientation' and description 'Get current device orientation' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The explicit statement 'No app connection required' confirms this is a passive query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current device orientation (portrait/landscape). No app connection required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the React Native MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the React Native MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_orientation: 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 React Native. Nothing to install.
get_orientation is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_orientation 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 get_orientation. 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.
get_orientation is provided by the React Native MCP server (@ohah/react-native-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
