Find exported components without permission restrictions in AndroidManifest.xml
AI agents call find_leak_manifest to retrieve information from APK Security Guard MCP Suite without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs static analysis by reading and inspecting the AndroidManifest.xml file to identify security configuration issues (exported components without permission restrictions). It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. While the findings may inform security decisions, the tool itself only retrieves and analyzes existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'finds' and analyzes exported components in AndroidManifest.xml without performing any modifications, deletions, or state changes.
