## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list-sessions",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CodeAnalysis MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-sessions": {}
  }
}
```
