AI agents call session_list to retrieve information from Pokeclaw 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 active sessions without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could discover what sessions exist but cannot interact with them directly through this tool alone. Therefore, it is classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_list' and description 'List all active sessions' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves session state without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all active sessions. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pokeclaw MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Pokeclaw MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for session_list: 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 Pokeclaw. Nothing to install.
session_list 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 session_list 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 session_list. 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.
session_list is provided by the Pokeclaw MCP server (madebydia/pokeclaw). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
session_list is one line of Pokeclaw's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
