This tool retrieves metadata about the Android device's screen resolution. It performs no modifications, executions, deletions, or financial operations. It is a simple information retrieval operation with no side effects, fitting squarely into the Read category. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only learn device display dimensions, which poses negligible security risk.

How to control get_screen_resolution

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_screen_resolution:

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

get_screen_resolution 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 Adb — 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.
