WHAT IT DOES

What list_absences does on Sanka MCP Server

AI agents call list_absences to retrieve information from Sanka MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_absences is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing absence/leave records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal blast radius as misuse would only expose information about existing absences, not cause data changes or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_absences' and description 'Review leave and absence records' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Review' and action of querying absence records confirms read-only behavior.

list_absences Allowed

list_absences is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
