## Why release-list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns structured information about GitHub releases without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial obligations. It is a straightforward query operation with no side effects. Severity is low because leaking release metadata poses minimal security risk and the tool has no capability to affect systems or data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'release-list' is described as 'Lists GitHub releases for a repository' with read-only retrieval of release metadata (tag, name, status, dates). Uses verb 'Lists' indicating data query without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call release-list to retrieve information from Lint 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 Lint:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "release-list": {}
  }
}
```
