# Cortex XDR Agent App for Android

The Cortex XDR agent app for Android prevents known malware and unknown APK files from running on your Android endpoints. The Cortex XDR agent app enforces your organization’s security policy as defined in Cortex XDR. The security policy determines whether to block known malware and unknown files (recommended), uploads unknown files for in-depth inspection and analysis, treats grayware as malware, and performs local analysis to determine the likelihood that an unknown file is malware. You can also add trusted signers to the Allow List to enable unknown apps that are signed to run before Cortex XDR receives an official verdict for the app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-agent-android-guide/8.0/cortex-xdr-agent-app-for-android.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
