Get branches of a repository accessible by a GitHub App
AI agents call get_github_app_repository_branches to retrieve information from Coolify MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about repository branches from GitHub via an app integration. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only reads and returns information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an agent could only enumerate branch names, which is typically non-sensitive metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a retrieval operation: 'get_github_app_repository_branches' and 'Get branches of a repository' are query/fetch semantics with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get branches of a repository accessible by a GitHub App. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coolify MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coolify MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_github_app_repository_branches: 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 Coolify MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_github_app_repository_branches 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 get_github_app_repository_branches 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_github_app_repository_branches. 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.
get_github_app_repository_branches is provided by the Coolify MCP Server MCP server (kof70/coolify-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
