What session_send does on Mcp Anything
AI agents invoke session_send to trigger actions in Mcp Anything. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why session_send is rated High
The name 'session_send' implies sending commands or data to an active session, which typically constitutes an Execute-level action. Given the server context (MCP-native bridge to CLI tools), this likely sends commands to a running session. However, the empty description significantly reduces confidence. Severity is rated high because sending arbitrary commands to sessions could have broad impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_send' suggests sending data/commands to a session; description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs session_send safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For session_send, this is the rule to start with:
session_send stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every session_send call is checked against it from then on.

session_send is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the session_send 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_send. 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.
