Test connection to AutoBot server
AI agents call hello 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 is a health-check or ping-like tool that verifies the server is reachable and responding. It performs no operations on the Android device, does not read sensitive data, and has no destructive or execute side effects. The minimal nature of a connection test makes this low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'hello' and description 'Test connection to AutoBot server' indicate a diagnostic/connectivity test with no data retrieval, modification, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Test connection to AutoBot server. 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 hello: 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.
hello 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 hello 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 hello. 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.
hello 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.
