AI agents use adb_push to create or update resources in Claude Pascal MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude Pascal MCP Server environment.
adb_push transfers/uploads files to an Android device, modifying its filesystem. This is reversible (files can be deleted), so it is Write rather than Destructive. Severity is high because an agent could push malicious APKs, system files, or sensitive data to a device, potentially compromising the device or enabling further attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'adb_push' combined with sibling ADB tools (adb_pull, adb_install, adb_launch_app) indicates this transfers files to an Android device. ADB push is a standard Android Debug Bridge command that writes files to device storage.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access adb_push 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_push:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"adb_push": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "adb_push_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}adb_push 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_push. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adb_push: 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_push 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_push 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_push. 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_push 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.
