Get the full content of a source file from Android repositories
AI agents call get_file_content to retrieve information from Android Code Search MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays source code content from public Android repositories. It performs a read-only query operation with no ability to modify, delete, or execute code. The data retrieved is from public Android open-source repositories, limiting exposure. Misuse would only expose already-public source code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_file_content' and description 'Get the full content of a source file from Android repositories' indicate retrieval of data without modification, creation, deletion, or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_file_content gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Android Code Search MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_file_content:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_file_content": {}
}
}get_file_content is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the full content of a source file from Android repositories. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android Code Search MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Android Code Search MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_file_content: 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 Android Code Search MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_file_content 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_file_content 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_file_content. 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_file_content is provided by the Android Code Search MCP Server MCP server (steveday763/cs_android_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Android Code Search MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
