## Why github_review_pr is rated Medium

Submitting a PR review is a write operation that creates new data (review records) on GitHub. It modifies the PR's state and history reversibly—reviews can be dismissed or edited. It does not execute code, delete data, or move money. While it affects workflow (may block/unblock merging), the action itself is fundamentally about creating/recording a review, making it Write rather than Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "'Submit a review on a PR' - this action creates a new review record on an existing pull request, which modifies state on GitHub by adding a review comment/approval/rejection."

## Use case

AI agents use github_review_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_review_pr": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "github_review_pr_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
