AI agents call get_ip_address to retrieve information from Adb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves the IP address of an Android device via ADB, which is a read-only operation. It fetches existing device information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The information retrieved (IP address) is non-sensitive metadata in most contexts and poses minimal risk if disclosed to an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ip_address' and description 'get device IP address' indicate retrieval of network configuration data without modification or execution. No side effects or destructive operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_ip_address gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Adb, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_ip_address:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_ip_address": {}
}
}get_ip_address is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

获取设备IP地址. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Adb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ip_address: 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 Adb. Nothing to install.
get_ip_address 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_ip_address 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_ip_address. 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_ip_address is provided by the Adb MCP server (wolfcoming/adb_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Adb, 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.
