## Why git_remote_list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation—listing remote repositories—which is a standard Git query that returns existing configuration data. There are no side effects, no data modifications, and no code execution. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since an agent listing remotes cannot cause harm beyond revealing repository configuration details.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'git_remote_list' and description 'Lists all remote repositories' indicate a query operation that retrieves configuration data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call git_remote_list to retrieve information from GitHub MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches GitHub MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "git_remote_list": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
