pullNumber

What pullNumber does on GitHub

AI agents call pullNumber 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 pullNumber is rated Low

This tool appears to be a required parameter identifier used in conjunction with other GitHub API calls rather than an independent action. It does not itself read, write, execute, or delete data. It simply provides a pull request reference number that would be used by other tools (like add_reply_to_pull_request_comment) to target their operations.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'pullNumber' described as 'Pull request number (number, required)' - this is a parameter/identifier field for specifying which pull request to reference, not an action that retrieves or modifies data.

The rule that runs pullNumber 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 pullNumber, this is the rule to start with:

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