Proxy list_all_employees to the leave-management leaf MCP
AI agents call list_all_employees to retrieve information from MCP Leave Management without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves employee information without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The word 'list' directly signals data retrieval. Even though employee rosters may contain sensitive PII, the action itself is purely a read operation with no irreversible consequences, placing it in the Read category at low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_all_employees' combined with description that it 'proxies' a list operation to a leaf MCP indicates a query/retrieval function. The verb 'list' is explicitly classified as a Read operation (no side effects, non-destructive enumeration).
