Summary
AI summaryDroidMind client CLI added for server introspection and intent support across tools introduced.
Full changelog
Released: 2026-01-06
This release adds the droidmind-client CLI for server introspection, introduces shared intent functionality, significantly strengthens shell command security validation, and upgrades the MCP SDK to version 1.25.0.
🌟 Highlights
✨ DroidMind Client CLI
New droidmind-client command-line tool for introspecting running DroidMind servers. The list-tools subcommand queries available MCP tools from an SSE server and outputs JSON, supporting sse://, sses://, http://, and https:// URL schemes. Useful for verifying server connectivity and discovering tool capabilities.
🔒️ Hardened Shell Command Security
Complete refactor of assess_command_risk() and validate_shell_command() in droidmind/security.py to properly parse chained commands (&&, ;, ||, |). Previously, chained segments were not validated individually, allowing dangerous commands like echo ok && rm -rf / to pass. Now each segment is validated, and rm is added to the disallowed commands list. Added restricted support for uiautomator dump with path validation.
🚀 Intent Support Across Tools
New shared start_intent() helper in droidmind/tools/intents.py enables starting activities with extras from both android-app and android-ui tools. The android-app tool gains a START_INTENT action with support for intent extras, while android-ui now delegates to the shared implementation for consistent behavior.
⬆️ MCP SDK Upgrade to 1.25.0
Upgraded mcp[cli] from 1.8.1 to 1.25.0, bringing compatibility improvements and new features. Python is now constrained to >=3.13,<3.14 due to transitive dependency requirements (PyO3/pydantic-core). The FastMCP initialization now uses the instructions parameter, and stdio_server import moved to module level.

Breaking Changes
- Python version constraint tightened to >=3.13,<3.14 due to MCP SDK upgrade
