# github_close_pr Close a PR without merging. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `github_close_pr`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-close-pr ## Facts - Tool: `github_close_pr` - Server: Github (`dkeeno/github-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/dkeeno/github-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "github_close_pr", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why github_close_pr is rated Medium Closing a PR modifies data (PR status) reversibly and does not delete or destroy data. It is a write operation with medium severity because it affects repository workflows and collaboration, but the action is undoable and does not directly delete data or trigger code execution. From the tool's own definition: "Tool closes (modifies state of) a PR without merging. This is a reversible state change to a GitHub pull request—the PR can be reopened." ## Use case AI agents use github_close_pr to create or update resources in Github, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Github environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Github: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "github_close_pr": { "limits": [ { "counter": "github_close_pr_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Github (68) - `github_delete_repo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-delete-repo.md - `github_delete_secret` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-delete-secret.md - `github_remove_branch_protection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-remove-branch-protection.md - `github_cancel_workflow_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-cancel-workflow-run.md - `github_rerun_workflow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-rerun-workflow.md - `github_trigger_workflow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-trigger-workflow.md - `github_transfer_repo` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-transfer-repo.md - `github_analyze_workflow_failure` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-analyze-workflow-failure.md - `github_audit_repo` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-audit-repo.md - `github_check_token_scopes` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-check-token-scopes.md - `github_get_branch_protection` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-branch-protection.md - `github_get_file` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-file.md - `github_get_issue` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-issue.md - `github_get_pr` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-pr.md - `github_get_profile_stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-profile-stats.md - `github_get_repo` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-repo.md - `github_get_repo_stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-repo-stats.md - `github_get_traffic` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-traffic.md - `github_get_user` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-user.md - `github_get_workflow_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-workflow-logs.md - `github_get_workflow_run` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-get-workflow-run.md - `github_list_issues` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-issues.md - `github_list_prs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-prs.md - `github_list_releases` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-releases.md - `github_list_repos` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-repos.md - `github_list_secrets` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-secrets.md - `github_list_security_alerts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-security-alerts.md - `github_list_stargazers` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-stargazers.md - `github_list_variables` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-variables.md - `github_list_workflow_runs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server/github-list-workflow-runs.md - …and 38 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-github-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
