WHAT IT DOES

What pr-list does on Git

AI agents call pr-list to retrieve information from Git without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why pr-list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries pull request metadata with optional filters. It returns information about existing PRs (number, state, title, author, branch, labels, draft status, merge readiness) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. This is a pure read operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a listing operation that 'Returns structured list' of pull requests without performing any modifications, deletions, or external operations. Verb 'Lists' indicates data retrieval.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pr-list safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Git, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pr-list, this is the rule to start with:

pr-list Allowed

pr-list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pr-list": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Git, apply this rule, and every pr-list call is checked against it from then on.

How do I enforce a policy on pr-list? +

Register the Git MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pr-list: 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 Git. Nothing to install.

What risk level is pr-list? +

Can I rate-limit pr-list? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pr-list 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.

How do I block pr-list completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pr-list. 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.

What MCP server provides pr-list? +
