List all worker pools.
AI agents call list_pools to retrieve information from Session Buddy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate worker pools. There are no side effects, no data modification, and no external execution. It is a straightforward information retrieval function, fitting the Read category with low severity since pool listing poses minimal risk to system integrity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pools' and description 'List all worker pools' indicate a query operation that retrieves information about existing worker pools without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all worker pools. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Session Buddy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Session Buddy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_pools: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Session Buddy. Nothing to install.
list_pools is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_pools rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_pools. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_pools is provided by the Session Buddy MCP server (lesleslie/session-buddy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
