An MCP Context Contract for Android Automation Drafts

Short summary

The article proposes a 'context contract' — a minimum set of facts an AI assistant must read before drafting Android automation workflows via MCP, including target environment, device context, node schema, assets, and save/run policies. It argues that structured context reduces hidden assumptions and unsafe guesses, enabling reviewable AI-generated automation graphs. The author also outlines safety boundaries, distinguishing read-only context tools from write tools that change device state.

• •Defines a context contract: environment, devices, app package, screen, node schema, assets, evidence/save/stop policies
• •Separates read tools (context gathering) from write tools (save profile, run profile) for safety
• •Emphasizes observability via screen mirroring and graph review before first run of AI-generated workflows
