Get WiFi connection info: SSID, BSSID, IP, signal strength, link speed, frequency.
AI agents call get_wifi_info 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 only queries and retrieves existing WiFi connection metadata. It does not modify settings, execute commands, delete data, or perform financial operations. While knowing WiFi details could theoretically aid in reconnaissance, the tool itself is a passive information read with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] WiFi connection info' including SSID, BSSID, IP, signal strength, link speed, frequency. The verb 'Get' and the information-only nature of these network status fields indicate pure data retrieval with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get WiFi connection info: SSID, BSSID, IP, signal strength, link speed, frequency. 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_wifi_info: 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_wifi_info 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_wifi_info 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_wifi_info. 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_wifi_info 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.
