What search_github does on MCP Framework Personal

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

Why search_github is rated Low

A GitHub search operation is fundamentally a read-only retrieval action. Even if it searches across repositories or code, it does not modify, execute, or delete anything. The empty description prevents higher confidence, but the semantic meaning of 'search' combined with 'github' clearly points to a Read category. The low blast radius (user gets data they queried for) supports low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_github' indicates a query/search operation against GitHub. The description is empty, which reduces confidence, but the name strongly suggests retrieval of publicly available repository or code information without side effects.

The rule that runs search_github safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Framework Personal, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_github, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_github": {}
  }
}
