WHAT IT DOES

What list_ftp_sessions does on cPanel MCP Server

AI agents call list_ftp_sessions to retrieve information from cPanel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_ftp_sessions is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that queries and displays existing FTP session data. It has no side effects on the system, data, or configurations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI agent could only enumerate active sessions, which provides visibility but cannot alter or delete data, execute commands, or cause financial impact. This falls clearly into the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_ftp_sessions' and description states 'List active FTP sessions' — this retrieves information about currently active FTP connections without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.
