AI agents call get_android_network_status 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.
This tool retrieves network status information from an Android device. It is a passive information-gathering operation with no capability to modify, execute, delete, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn network connectivity details but cannot alter device behavior, execute code, or cause harm through reading this status alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_android_network_status' and description 'Get Android device network status' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves device network connectivity information without modifying any state or triggering side effects.

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_network_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_android_network_status": {}
}
}get_android_network_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the MCP Prompts Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_android_network_status: 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 MCP Prompts Server. Nothing to install.
get_android_network_status 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_android_network_status 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_android_network_status. 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_android_network_status is provided by the MCP Prompts Server MCP server (sparesparrow/mcp-prompts). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
