MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~474 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
get_app ~67

Details for a single app, found by App Store id, Play package name, or bundle id.

NameTypeReqDescription
appIdstringyesApp Store numeric id, Play package name, or bundle id
storestringWhich store to read. Defaults to every store that is configured

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_releases ~142

What is live, what is in review, and what is mid-rollout — for one app or the whole portfolio. States are normalised across stores: 'live', 'in_review', 'pending_developer_release', 'rejected', 'draft', 'rolling_out', 'halted'. The store's own wording is kept in rawState. Reading Play tracks opens a temporary edit and deletes it again; nothing is committed.

No examples provided.

get_reviews ~171

Recent user reviews from both stores in one list, newest first. Omit appId to sweep the whole portfolio, and set maxRating to 2 to triage complaints. Note the platform limits: Google Play only returns reviews from roughly the last week, and only for apps that have any.

Every app reachable with the configured credentials, from both stores. The App Store side is discovered automatically; the Play side comes from PLAY_PACKAGES, because the Play API cannot enumerate a developer's apps.
