WHAT IT DOES

What get does on GitHub

AI agents call get 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.

RISK

Why get is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about a pull request (e.g., title, description, status, commits, reviews) with no side effects. It performs a read-only query operation consistent with the Read category. The low severity reflects minimal risk—an AI agent cannot harm systems or data by fetching PR details.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get' and description 'Get details of a specific pull request' indicate retrieval of PR metadata without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get safely

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

get Allowed

get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GitHub, apply this rule, and every get call is checked against it from then on.
