What new_name does on GitHub
AI agents call new_name as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.
Why new_name is rated Low
This appears to be a parameter definition rather than an actual tool. It describes a field ('new_name') used as input to a label-update operation, not a tool that performs an action on its own. Without a proper tool description, it cannot be meaningfully classified; however, if it were part of a label rename operation, it would be Write. Confidence is very low due to the uninformative description.
From the tool's definition Tool description says 'New name for the label (used only with update method to rename)' — this appears to be a parameter description, not a standalone tool description.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs new_name 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 new_name, this is the rule to start with:
new_name gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GitHub, apply this rule, and every new_name call is checked against it from then on.

new_name is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the new_name rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
