Upload a mobile application file (APK, IPA, or APPX) to MobSF for security analysis. This is the first step before scanning and must be done prior to using other analysis functions.
AI agents use uploadFile to create or update resources in APK Security Guard MCP Suite — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your APK Security Guard MCP Suite environment.
This tool creates new data (uploaded files and associated metadata) in the security analysis system, making it a Write operation. Severity is high because: (1) uploaded files could be sensitive or proprietary code, (2) the tool stores application binaries that could later be analyzed or misused, and (3) if an AI agent uploads malicious APKs or floods the system with uploads, it could cause resource exhaustion or…
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Upload a mobile application file (APK, IPA, or APPX) to MobSF for security analysis,' indicating file upload and storage creation. 'Upload' is a write operation that creates new data in the MobSF system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Upload a mobile application file (APK, IPA, or APPX) to MobSF for security analysis. This is the first step before scanning and must be done prior to using other analysis functions. It is categorised as a Write tool in the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the APK Security Guard MCP Suite MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for uploadFile: 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.
uploadFile 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 uploadFile 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 uploadFile. 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.
uploadFile 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.
