List all active interactive OpenROAD sessions.
AI agents call list_interactive_sessions to retrieve information from Openroad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about existing sessions without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure data retrieval function, fitting the Read category with low severity since listing sessions poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_interactive_sessions' and description 'List all active interactive OpenROAD sessions' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_interactive_sessions gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Openroad, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_interactive_sessions:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_interactive_sessions": {}
}
}list_interactive_sessions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List all active interactive OpenROAD sessions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Openroad MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Openroad MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_interactive_sessions: 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 Openroad. Nothing to install.
list_interactive_sessions 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_interactive_sessions 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_interactive_sessions. 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_interactive_sessions is provided by the Openroad MCP server (the-openroad-project/openroad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Openroad, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
