What order does on GitHub
AI agents call order 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.
Why order is rated Low
This tool is a sorting/ordering parameter used in read operations to organize retrieved data. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code, and does not perform destructive or financial operations.
From the tool's definition 'Sort order (string, optional)' is a parameter for ordering/filtering data retrieval, not performing any action. The description explicitly indicates this is an optional string parameter used for sorting query results.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs order 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 order, this is the rule to start with:
order is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 order call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about order
Sort order (string, optional). It is categorised as a Read tool in the GitHub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GitHub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for order: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches GitHub. Nothing to install.
order is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the order 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for order. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
order is provided by the GitHub MCP server (oci:ghcr.io/aifity/omnigit-mcp:0.5.0). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
