## Why github_list_stargazers is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays information about users who starred a repository. It is a read-only operation with no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The data returned is typically public information on GitHub. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only enumerate stargazers, which poses no security or operational risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'github_list_stargazers' and description 'List users who starred the repo' indicate a query operation that retrieves public GitHub stargazer data with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call github_list_stargazers to retrieve information from Github 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:

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