What server_list does on ArcGIS MCP

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

Why server_list needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about federated servers without modifying or deleting data, making it a Read operation. However, the information returned (enumeration of enterprise infrastructure) could be sensitive for reconnaissance purposes, justifying a medium severity rating. The confidence is high because the name and Spanish description clearly indicate a listing/query operation with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'server_list' and description 'Lista todos los ArcGIS Servers federados en el Enterprise' (Lists all federated ArcGIS Servers in the Enterprise) indicate a query/retrieval operation that enumerates infrastructure.
