Why add_r0capture_hooks needs a policy

This tool generates and applies network hooks using the r0capture framework on a real Android device. Applying hooks involves injecting code into running processes to intercept network traffic — this is an execution-class action with significant side effects on the target device. It is not purely a write (config change) because the hooks actively execute within the target application's runtime environment.

POLICY

How to control add_r0capture_hooks

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Algorithmaide, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_r0capture_hooks:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_r0capture_hooks": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_r0capture_hooks_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_r0capture_hooks stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Algorithmaide — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about add_r0capture_hooks

What does the add_r0capture_hooks tool do? +

Generate the built-in r0capture-style network hooks and apply them with the verified workflow. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Algorithmaide MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on add_r0capture_hooks? +

Register the Algorithmaide MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_r0capture_hooks: 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 Algorithmaide. Nothing to install.

What risk level is add_r0capture_hooks? +

add_r0capture_hooks is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit add_r0capture_hooks? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_r0capture_hooks 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.

How do I block add_r0capture_hooks completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_r0capture_hooks. 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.

What MCP server provides add_r0capture_hooks? +

add_r0capture_hooks is provided by the Algorithmaide MCP server (vwww-droid/algorithmaide-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Algorithmaide tool call.

Start from Algorithmaide, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
