Get content of a specific resource file.
AI agents call get_resource_file 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 retrieves and reads resource file content from an APK without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius—disclosure of resource file contents poses limited risk in the context of APK security analysis where such inspection is expected and necessary.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'get_resource_file' with description 'Get content of a specific resource file.' The verb 'Get' and action 'retrieve content' indicate read-only data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get content of a specific resource file. It is categorised as a Read tool in the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_resource_file: 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 APK Security Guard MCP Suite. Nothing to install.
get_resource_file 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_resource_file 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_resource_file. 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_resource_file is provided by the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP server (zmbcen/apk-security-guard-mcp-suite). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
