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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why list_sessions is rated Low

This tool retrieves session data for monitoring and auditing purposes without modifying or destroying anything. However, the 'medium' severity reflects that session logs in a privileged access management system may contain sensitive information about user activities, credentials, or system access patterns that could be misused if exposed to unauthorized AI agents, even though the read operation itself is…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_sessions' and description 'List recent privileged sessions from CyberArk Session Monitoring' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no mutation or deletion of data."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents call list_sessions to retrieve information from CyberArk Privilege Cloud 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 CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_sessions": {}
  }
}
```
