AI agents call adb_pull to retrieve information from Claude Pascal MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
adb_pull retrieves files from Android devices without modifying them, placing it in the Read category. Severity is medium because it could expose sensitive data (credentials, private keys, application data) if an agent targets confidential files on a connected Android device.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'adb_pull' and sibling tools in Android Debug Bridge context (adb_*) indicate file retrieval from Android devices. ADB pull copies files from device to host.
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 Claude Pascal 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": {}
}
}adb_pull is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

adb_pull. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Pascal 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 Claude Pascal MCP Server. Nothing to install.
adb_pull 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 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 Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server (tina4stack/claude-pascal-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Claude Pascal MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
