WHAT IT DOES

What reason does on GitHub

AI agents call reason as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.

RISK

Why reason is rated Low

This does not appear to be a standalone tool but rather a parameter description for a worktree locking operation. The description is uninformative as a tool — it describes an optional string input field rather than an action. Classifying as Other with low confidence due to the ambiguous and likely incomplete description.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Reason for locking the worktree (optional) (string, optional)' - this appears to be a parameter/field descriptor, not an actionable tool

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

reason Rate-limited

reason gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Can I rate-limit reason? +
