View source files by hash, file path, and type.
AI agents call viewSource 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 displays source code content from an APK analysis context. It performs read-only access to previously analyzed or decoded APK files. There are no side effects, no data modification, no execution of arbitrary code, and no destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'View source files' - a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion. The parameters (hash, file path, type) are all query/lookup identifiers, not mutation arguments.
