Why window_size needs a policy

'window_size' strongly implies a read-only operation that queries the display dimensions. No description is provided to confirm side effects, but the name alone suggests a simple data retrieval with no write, execute, or destructive implications. Confidence is moderate due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'window_size'; description is empty. Based on the name, it likely retrieves the screen/window dimensions of the Android device.

How to control window_size

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and uiautomator2 MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for window_size:

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

window_size 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 uiautomator2 MCP 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.
