What list-sessions does on CodeAnalysis MCP Server
AI agents call list-sessions to retrieve information from CodeAnalysis MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list-sessions is rated Low
This tool retrieves or queries session data with no side effects. It follows the pattern of Read category tools (list, get, fetch operations). The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention and context strongly suggest a non-destructive retrieval operation. Severity is low because unauthorized access to session metadata poses minimal risk compared to other tool categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-sessions' indicates data retrieval. The tool lists existing sessions without modifying or deleting them. Context of sibling tools (create-session, clear-session) shows this server manages sessions; list-sessions is the query variant.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list-sessions safely

list-sessions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CodeAnalysis MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list-sessions call is checked against it from then on.
