What list_sites does on Plausible MCP

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

Why list_sites needs a policy

This tool retrieves/lists data from the Plausible account without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward Read operation with low severity since listing sites exposes account structure but not sensitive traffic data itself. The low blast radius reflects that an AI agent misusing this tool could only enumerate which sites exist in the account.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_sites' and description 'List all sites in your Plausible account' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns data about existing sites with no modification or side effects.
