Position analysis?

I recently played a game where the following position was reached, but, before I, as white, could move anything, we were forced to pack up and call it a draw. I am interested about your opinions about the position and the move that white should play.  All help is appreciated.

Nd2 is the best next move according to engine...

It's an interesting position...engine would most probably make a draw, I personaly would prefer to play as White...

More useless advice could not have been given.

In this case, the engine is defending the e4 pawn and avoiding the opening of the g-file. But this doesn't really help us know how to play the position. Are we really just making the best defensive moves we can find and hoping black doesn't have a good attack here?
