Get Android device sensor data

How to control get_android_sensor_data ↓

AI agents call get_android_sensor_data 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 retrieves sensor data (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, etc.) from an Android device. The use of 'get' and passive retrieval language indicates a Read operation. While sensor data can be privacy-sensitive, the tool itself does not modify state, execute commands, delete data, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_android_sensor_data' and description 'Get Android device sensor data' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_android_sensor_data 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_sensor_data:

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

get_android_sensor_data 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.
