What list_partitions does on zRobot WSAPI MCP Server

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

Why list_partitions needs a policy

list_partitions retrieves and enumerates partition data from IBM Z hardware systems. This is a Read operation as it queries system state without side effects. Severity is medium rather than low because the returned partition data could include sensitive configuration details about enterprise hardware infrastructure (names, states, resource allocations), which could inform further attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'List all partitions on a CPC/system' – a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
