Get information about the screen (dimensions, rotation)
AI agents call get_screen_info to retrieve information from AutoBot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries device state and returns read-only information. It does not modify, delete, execute commands, or trigger external operations. While the server provides dangerous capabilities like execute_adb_shell_command and delete_file, this particular tool is purely informational and poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves screen information (dimensions, rotation) with no modification or side effects. The description explicitly indicates data retrieval only: 'Get information about the screen'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the screen (dimensions, rotation). It is categorised as a Read tool in the AutoBot MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AutoBot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_screen_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 AutoBot MCP. Nothing to install.
get_screen_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_screen_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_screen_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_screen_info is provided by the AutoBot MCP server (yz0903/autobot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
