DIYgod open-sources 'Pinky', an MCP layer letting AI agents control real iPhone and Android phones, with gateway approvals, logs and human takeover (report)

Verified (fact)

According to Pandaily, developer DIYgod has released 'Pinky' under the Apache-2.0 license. The tool lets MCP-compatible AI agents control real iPhone and Android devices rather than emulators. Control requests pass through a gateway, which enforces approval steps and action logs, and a human can take over control directly at any time.

Why it matters (interpretation)

Once agents work inside mobile apps, they gain access to real device accounts and payments. Pinky is an open-source example with controls such as approvals, logging and human intervention built in from the start, making it a useful reference for mobile agent security design.
