https://discuss.appium.io/t/retrieve-clipboard-content-of-android-device-as-part-of-automation/7741 proposes to use an open-source APK for this purpose.

clipper/blob/628b06b2e1bf4f36701d86f3ef14ca8927fb5612/pom.xml#L{19,30} should be verified especially otherwise the remaining of the repository content looks quite easy to verify. Note that it seems legetimate based on https://github.com/simpligility/android-maven-plugin existence.

Concerning write access, the Android Stack Exchange answer 105881 gives a working solution.
