AI agents call list_sessions to retrieve information from Jikan without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
'list_sessions' retrieves or queries existing behavioral session data with no side effects. This is a Read category tool—it provides information about tracked meditation, focus, and exercise sessions without creating, modifying, or deleting any data.

list_sessions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_sessions 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_sessions. 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.
list_sessions is provided by the Jikan MCP server (thunderrabbit/jikan). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
