pr-checks

Lists check/status results for a pull request. Returns structured data with check names, states, URLs, and summary counts (passed, failed, pending). When watch=true, polls internally until all checks complete (or timeout).

What pr-checks does on Make

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

Why pr-checks needs a policy

The tool retrieves pull request check/status data and returns structured information. The polling behavior when watch=true is a read operation that waits for external state to change, not an action that modifies state. No data is created, modified, or deleted. This is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool "Lists check/status results for a pull request. Returns structured data with check names, states, URLs, and summary counts (passed, failed, pending)." Retrieves and queries pull request status information with no side effects.

How to control pr-checks

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Make, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pr-checks:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pr-checks": {}
  }
}

pr-checks is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Make — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about pr-checks

What does the pr-checks tool do? +

Lists check/status results for a pull request. Returns structured data with check names, states, URLs, and summary counts (passed, failed, pending). When watch=true, polls internally until all checks complete (or timeout). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

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

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

What risk level is pr-checks? +

pr-checks is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit pr-checks? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pr-checks 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-checks completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pr-checks. 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-checks? +

pr-checks is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Make tool call.

Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
