WHAT IT DOES

What stash-list does on Git

AI agents call stash-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 stash-list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of git stash history. It retrieves information about stashed changes without modifying any repository state, stash entries, or other data. The output is informational only, making it a safe Read operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition The tool 'stash-list' "Lists all stash entries" and "Returns structured stash data." The description contains no mutation keywords (create, modify, delete, execute, run). It only retrieves and presents existing stash metadata.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stash-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 stash-list, this is the rule to start with:

stash-list Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stash-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 stash-list call is checked against it from then on.
