# github_list_repos List repositories for the authenticated user Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `github_list_repos`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/github-list-repos ## Facts - Tool: `github_list_repos` - Server: ScopeGate (`https://mcp.scopegate.cloud/{api_key}`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate.md - Homepage: https://github.com/alifanov/scopegate - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "github_list_repos", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why github_list_repos is rated Low This tool retrieves metadata about GitHub repositories belonging to the authenticated user. It is a query operation that produces no side effects, does not execute code, and does not modify or delete data. The only risk is exposure of repository metadata that may be considered sensitive (e.g., private repo names), but the blast radius is inherently limited to read-only information disclosure. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'list' and description explicitly states 'List repositories' — both indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification. The verb 'list' combined with 'authenticated user' confirms querying existing data." ## Use case AI agents call github_list_repos to retrieve information from ScopeGate without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ScopeGate: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "github_list_repos": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on ScopeGate (384) - `airtable_delete_record` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/airtable-delete-record.md - `calendar_delete_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/calendar-delete-event.md - `calendly_cancel_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/calendly-cancel-event.md - `drive_delete_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/drive-delete-file.md - `email_delete_message` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/email-delete-message.md - `googleAds_remove_extension` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googleads-remove-extension.md - `googleAds_remove_keyword` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googleads-remove-keyword.md - `googleAds_remove_negative_keyword` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googleads-remove-negative-keyword.md - `googleTagManager_delete_container` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-container.md - `googleTagManager_delete_environment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-environment.md - `googleTagManager_delete_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-folder.md - `googleTagManager_delete_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-tag.md - `googleTagManager_delete_trigger` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-trigger.md - `googleTagManager_delete_user_permission` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-user-permission.md - `googleTagManager_delete_variable` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-variable.md - `googleTagManager_delete_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-version.md - `googleTagManager_delete_workspace` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/googletagmanager-delete-workspace.md - `linkedin_delete_post` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/linkedin-delete-post.md - `notion_delete_block` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/notion-delete-block.md - `salesforce_delete_record` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/salesforce-delete-record.md - `searchConsole_delete_site` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/searchconsole-delete-site.md - `searchConsole_delete_sitemap` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/searchconsole-delete-sitemap.md - `threads_delete_thread` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/threads-delete-thread.md - `twitter_delete_tweet` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/twitter-delete-tweet.md - `twitter_unbookmark_tweet` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/twitter-unbookmark-tweet.md - `youtube_delete_caption` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/youtube-delete-caption.md - `youtube_delete_channel_section` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/youtube-delete-channel-section.md - `youtube_delete_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/youtube-delete-comment.md - `youtube_delete_playlist` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/youtube-delete-playlist.md - `youtube_delete_video` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate/youtube-delete-video.md - …and 354 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-alifanov-scopegate.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
