AI agents use rename_package to create or update resources in JADX-MCP-SERVER — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your JADX-MCP-SERVER environment.
The tool modifies decompiled Android app code by renaming a package and all its classes. This is a reversible write operation—the changes can be undone or reverted—but affects multiple code entities and could break references or cause confusion during reverse engineering. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive) nor execute arbitrary code (which would be Execute).
From the tool's definition rename_package: 'Renames a package and all its classes.' This directly modifies the decompiled code structure by changing package names and associated class references.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rename_package gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and JADX-MCP-SERVER, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rename_package:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"rename_package": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "rename_package_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}rename_package stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Renames a package and all its classes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the JADX-MCP-SERVER MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the JADX-MCP-SERVER MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rename_package: 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 JADX-MCP-SERVER. Nothing to install.
rename_package is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rename_package 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 rename_package. 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.
rename_package is provided by the JADX-MCP-SERVER MCP server (zinja-coder/jadx-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
