What grant_permission does on Android ADB MCP Server

AI agents call grant_permission to retrieve information from Android ADB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why grant_permission needs a policy

Even though grant_permission only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
