What list_user_sessions does on CloudStack MCP Server
AI agents call list_user_sessions to retrieve information from CloudStack MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why list_user_sessions is rated Low
While this is categorized as Read (no data modification), the severity is elevated to high because user session data is highly sensitive security information. Unauthorized enumeration of active sessions could enable targeted account takeover, privilege escalation, or session hijacking attacks.
From the tool's definition list_user_sessions retrieves active user session data, which is a read-only query operation without side effects. The description states it 'List active user sessions' — a retrieval function.
