Ask why an install failed. The answer names the checks and the value each one measured.

Control

It asks. You confirm.

Changes wait for you.: Pausing the SDK, registering a signing certificate and counting a report each need your tick, in your own client.
Keys stay out of the chat.: A secret is typed into a page on AdHedge. Your agent never sees it.
Sign in with your email.: Your tool opens a sign-in page and you click the link we send. No token to copy.
Install data is data.: Referrers and campaign names are written by strangers. Your agent is told to quote them and never act on them.

What it catches

Every install gets a verdict and a reason.

Stale builds: Installs running a build Play stopped serving. Farms replay old APKs.
Sideloads dressed as Play: Installer says Google Play. Play's license check says no.
Emulators and test rigs: No device integrity, ADB on, test-keys builds.
Sessions with nobody in them: Opened once. Zero taps. Never back.
Reinstall churn: Same device inside 90 days. Billed once.
Installs that never opened: The network counted it. Your app never saw it. Hand your agent their report to see the gap.

Your funnel

Already optimizing on revenue?

Every rate you trust is divided by installs.: Fix the denominator and your install-to-paid, D1 and ARPI change.
Your bidder funds placements before your revenue event fires.: A verified install is the earliest signal that starves a farmed placement. Bidding steers from about 10 real players a day.
Half of fraud lands in organic.: Your paid lift is measured against a baseline that isn't real. Organic installs get a verdict too.
Show ads? Those installs are also your invalid traffic.: Same devices, same ad account. Every install carries its verdict, so you can count them.

Install-to-paid

2.1%

reported, on 474 installs

3.8%

on 263 Trusted installs

Say 10 of the installs in the answer at the top paid. Same 10 people, two denominators.

Organic share of fraudulent installs, 52%: AppsFlyer, State of Fraud for Marketers 2026.

How it works

One server. One prompt. One listener.

01
Add AdHedge to your AI tool

One address, and an email link to sign in. The line for your tool.
```
https://api.adhedge.io/mcp
```
02
Ask it to add Install Trust

It adds a repository, a dependency, a routing key and the listener. Link a Cloud project in Play Console, then ship. Every step.
```
maven("https://maven.adhedge.io")
implementation("io.adhedge:install-trust:0.5.0")
```
03
Keep your revenue goal

Your listener fires verified_install on a final TRUSTED verdict for a new install. Add it as a conversion your bidder learns from. Bidding steers from about 10 real players a day.

FAQ

Questions we get

Which AI tools does it run in?

Claude Code, Claude, Cursor and Codex have a line at the top of this page. Any other tool that speaks MCP takes the same address.

Do I need a dashboard?

No. Setup, verdicts, reports and support requests all run in your AI tool. A web console exists and you never have to open it.

Can my agent change things without me?

No. A change that matters waits for your tick in your own client. A tool that cannot show the question is refused.

Does this block real users?

No. The SDK blocks nothing: it tells your app a verdict and your app fires its conversion. Rooting alone never makes an install SUSPECT.

Can I use this for an invalid-traffic claim?

Yes. The evidence pack exports device facts and dates for every flagged install that opened your app.

What do I set up in Google Cloud?

Link a Cloud project to your app in Play Console and enable the Play Integrity API in it. Then grant the service account your agent names the Play Integrity role. Step by step.

What does it send home?

Install facts, device build values and hardware figures, one Play Integrity token, and touch counts with session timing. No Android ID, IMEI or advertising ID. Every field, with its Android source and how long it is kept: data safety.

Does it slow my launch?

No. Its work runs on one background thread, and it adds under 120 KB after R8.

What about my existing users?

They get a verdict and never hit your bill. Your listener skips them with isNewInstall().

Does it work with AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Firebase?

Yes, and with Meta and TikTok. Your app fires verified_install through whichever SDK it already ships. Set it as your primary conversion. How.

Can a contractor see just one app?

Yes. Scope a member to named apps and every other app stays hidden from them.

Is it open source?

The SDK and the wire schema are Apache-2.0. Scoring runs on our side.
