AI agents use adb_pull to create or update resources in ADB MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ADB MCP Server environment.
An AI agent can call adb_pull faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in ADB MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access adb_pull gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ADB MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for adb_pull:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"adb_pull": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "adb_pull_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}adb_pull stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

adb_pull. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ADB MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the ADB MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adb_pull: 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 ADB MCP Server. Nothing to install.
adb_pull is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the adb_pull 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 adb_pull. 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.
adb_pull is provided by the ADB MCP Server MCP server (srmorete/adb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
