/install android-adb
Description
Control Android devices via ADB with support for UI layout analysis (uiautomator) and visual feedback (screencap). Use when you need to interact with Android apps, perform UI automation, take screenshots, or run complex ADB command sequences.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable letting an agent use ADB on a device you control. Avoid using it on sensitive screens, review commands before actions like posting, purchasing, deleting, or changing account settings, and revoke USB or wireless debugging access when finished.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: android-adb
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions for controlling Android devices using standard ADB commands, including UI analysis and screenshots. All described actions, such as `adb shell` commands and `adb pull` for device-generated files, are directly aligned with the stated purpose of Android automation. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration from the agent's host, malicious execution, or any other intent to compromise the agent's environment or unrelated systems.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose is Android automation via ADB, and its commands for launching apps, tapping, typing, swiping, UI dumps, and screenshots are coherent with that purpose. These capabilities are powerful because they can operate a connected device.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are disclosed command examples rather than hidden automation. The scope is broad ADB interaction, so sensitive actions should remain user-directed.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is instruction-only with no executable installer or bundled code. It depends on adb being installed separately, so users should obtain Android Platform Tools from a trusted source.
Credentials
USB or wireless debugging, UI hierarchy pulls, and screenshots are proportionate for Android automation, but they can expose on-device screen contents and app UI data to the workspace.
Persistence & Privilege
ADB authorization or wireless pairing can persist until disconnected or revoked. This is expected for ADB use and is disclosed through the connection workflow.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install android-adb - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/android-adb - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
