What session_list does on Climux

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

Why session_list needs a policy

This is a straightforward listing/query tool. It retrieves session metadata for informational purposes. The presence of 'optional filters' suggests parameterized querying, but does not change the fundamental read-only nature. No side effects or state changes are implied. Blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose session information the agent already has access to.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_list' and description 'List BotCLI sessions with optional filters' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and displays session information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access session_list gives an agent:

How to control session_list

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Climux, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for session_list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "session_list": {}
  }
}

session_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Climux — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
