## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "secret-list",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

## Why secret-list is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about secrets without exposing their actual values. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, falling clearly into the Read category. The severity is low because the information disclosed (secret names and metadata) is less sensitive than actual secret values, though it could still provide reconnaissance value to an attacker.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Lists repository, organization, or environment secret names and metadata' and explicitly notes that 'Secret values are not exposed by GitHub.'"

## Use case

AI agents call secret-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": {
    "secret-list": {}
  }
}
```
