List repositories the current token owner can access (paginated)
AI agents call gitea_list_repos to retrieve information from Crow without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists data (repositories) with no side effects. It is a standard read operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The pagination parameter suggests it is designed purely for data retrieval. Severity is low because listing repositories has minimal blast radius—an AI agent could at worst enumerate accessible repos, which is not destructive or harmful.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gitea_list_repos' and description 'List repositories the current token owner can access (paginated)' indicate a retrieval operation that queries accessible repositories without modification or deletion.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access gitea_list_repos gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for gitea_list_repos:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"gitea_list_repos": {}
}
}gitea_list_repos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List repositories the current token owner can access (paginated). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Crow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Crow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gitea_list_repos: 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 Crow. Nothing to install.
gitea_list_repos is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gitea_list_repos 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 gitea_list_repos. 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.
gitea_list_repos is provided by the Crow MCP server (kh0pper/crow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Crow, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
