  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "gluecron_update_repo",

## Why gluecron_update_repo is rated Medium

This tool modifies repository configuration (description, visibility, default branch) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. These changes are reversible—the owner can restore previous values. The owner-only requirement mitigates risk but does not change the fundamental Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update'; description explicitly states it 'Update[s] repository description / visibility / default_branch', which are reversible metadata modifications."

## Use case

AI agents use gluecron_update_repo to create or update resources in Gluecron, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gluecron environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Gluecron:
