Get current volume levels for all audio streams.
AI agents call get_volume to retrieve information from Android MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves information about current volume levels with no side effects. It does not modify settings, execute commands, access sensitive data, or trigger system changes. The action is passive data retrieval, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low because volume level information is non-sensitive system telemetry.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_volume' combined with description 'Get current volume levels for all audio streams' indicates a query operation that retrieves audio system state without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current volume levels for all audio streams. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Android MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_volume: 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 Android MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_volume 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_volume 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_volume. 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_volume is provided by the Android MCP Server MCP server (wujie272/android-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_volume is one line of Android MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
