What it does

Once installed, the agent can check an Android app's source code against three Google Play policy areas: data safety, demo login credentials, and restricted permissions and APIs. It runs bundled Python scripts that scan the code, pull the app's public Play Store listing, and then has the agent (or sub-agents) review findings and write a structured compliance report. The skill is aimed at finding gaps like undeclared data collection or missing disclosures before a developer submits an app.

Great for

  • Android developers preparing an app for Google Play submission
  • Release or compliance teams who want a pre-submission policy check
  • Reviewers who want a consistent, repeatable checklist of policy issues

Skip it if

  • Legal sign-off: the output is an automated aid and does not replace review by a lawyer or Google's own policy review, which can differ from this tool
  • Apps you do not own or have permission to analyse, since it reads source code and fetches public store data for the named package
  • Non-Android projects, because the scanning logic targets Android manifests and Gradle files

Try asking

  • “Audit my Android app in this folder for Google Play data safety issues before I submit it”
  • “Check the manifest and code for restricted permissions like SMS, call log, or all-files access”
  • “Generate a compliance report covering demo login credentials and account deletion”

Get better results

  • Run it on a copy or branch of the app so generated scratch files stay out of your main project
  • Treat findings as leads to verify manually against the current Google Play policy text, since the policy data is bundled and may be dated
  • Review the generated report before acting, especially any items the critic step marks as uncertain
