What list_attention_sessions does on Freedom Mcp
AI agents call list_attention_sessions to retrieve information from Freedom Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | number | — | Max sessions (1–50, default 30). |
needs_me | boolean | — | If true, only return blocked_on_operator sessions with a real fresh ask (attend targets). |
companyId | string | — | FreedomOS company id to act within (you must be a member). Required for company-scoped tools. |
include_stale | boolean | — | If true, include sessions that failed freshness hygiene (default false). |

Why list_attention_sessions is rated Low
This tool queries and returns session metadata (status, goal, ask) for the current operator. The 'drops stale hosts' and 'blocked rows without a real ask' language describes filtering/hygiene in the response, not deletion of persistent user data. It is purely informational and used to decide whether to call downstream tools. No data is created, modified, or destroyed; no external operations are triggered.
From the tool's definition Tool description: 'List THIS operator's coding/builder sessions' — explicitly a retrieval/listing operation with no mutations. Hygiene operations ('drops stale hosts', 'blocked rows') are data cleanup on the read side, not destructive writes to user data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_attention_sessions safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freedom Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_attention_sessions, this is the rule to start with:
list_attention_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 Freedom Mcp, apply this rule, and every list_attention_sessions call is checked against it from then on.
