How to control node9_session ↓

AI agents call node9_session to retrieve information from Node9-Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and queries existing session metadata and audit information. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI agent could only over-query session data, causing informational exposure rather than operational harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'List recent AI agent sessions' — a retrieval operation that returns summaries of historical session data (tool calls, cost, modified files).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node9_session gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Node9-Proxy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for node9_session:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "node9_session": {}
  }
}

node9_session is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Node9-Proxy — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the node9_session tool do? +

List recent AI agent sessions with per-session summaries: tool calls, cost, modified files,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Node9-Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on node9_session? +

Register the Node9-Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for node9_session: 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 Node9-Proxy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is node9_session? +

node9_session is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit node9_session? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the node9_session 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.

How do I block node9_session completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for node9_session. 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.

What MCP server provides node9_session? +

node9_session is provided by the Node9-Proxy MCP server (node9-ai/node9-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Node9-Proxy tool call.
