Get the list of files changed in a pull request
AI agents call get_pull_request_files to retrieve information from Helm Chart CLI without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about files modified in a pull request without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a read-only operation that retrieves information for inspection purposes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pull_request_files' and description 'Get the list of files changed in a pull request' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_pull_request_files 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_pull_request_files. 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.
