Get box information by ID.
AI agents call get_box to retrieve information from Android Tester MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries information about an Android device box instance without modifying, executing against, or destroying any resources. It is a straightforward data lookup operation that returns metadata, fitting the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_box' and description 'Get box information by ID' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'get' and the context of querying box metadata by identifier are characteristic of read-only data retrieval with no side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_box 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_box. 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.
