## Why pr-reopen is rated Medium

Reopening a pull request is a reversible state change — it modifies the PR from closed to open. This is a Write operation (state modification), not destructive since the action can be undone by closing the PR again. Medium severity as it affects repository collaboration workflows but doesn't delete data or execute code.

From the tool's own definition: "Reopens a previously closed pull request, optionally with a comment. Returns structured data with PR number, state, and URL."

## Use case

AI agents use pr-reopen to create or update resources in Npm, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Npm environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Npm:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pr-reopen": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pr-reopen_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
