Get Android device location data

How to control get_android_location ↓

AI agents call get_android_location to retrieve information from MCP Prompts Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool reads and retrieves location data from an Android device without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. While location data is sensitive, the tool itself performs only a query operation with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_android_location' and description 'Get Android device location data' indicate retrieval of existing data with the verb 'Get' and no mention of modification, deletion, or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_android_location gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Prompts Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_android_location:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_android_location": {}
  }
}

get_android_location is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Prompts Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
