Watch out for

• It can uninstall apps and wipe their data

  Uninstall, clear-data and batch tools are marked destructive. Use a test device or simulator, not your daily phone. github.com

• It can tap and type anywhere on the device

  The assistant acts like a user on the screen, so it can send messages or buy things in apps that are signed in. Keep real accounts off the device. github.com

• It sends usage data and your goal text unless you opt out

  Tool names, run times and platform details go to PostHog, and a counter pixel is fetched. While telemetry is on, an extra get_more_tools tool sends the assistant's written goal to the developers; the tool text says to leave out private data. Set MOBILEMCP_DISABLE_TELEMETRY to any value to stop both. github.com

• Cloud devices are billed and shared

  The cloud tools reserve real phones. The tool text tells the assistant to ask you first, so confirm before you agree. github.com
