List all repositories in a project (paginated).
AI agents call list_repositories to retrieve information from Bitbucket Server MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves and lists existing repositories. It has no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The paginated listing is a standard retrieval pattern with no destructive or side-effect causing behavior. Minimal risk to security if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'list_repositories' and 'List all repositories in a project (paginated)' - this retrieves/queries data with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all repositories in a project (paginated). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bitbucket Server MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bitbucket Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_repositories: 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 Bitbucket Server MCP. Nothing to install.
list_repositories 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 list_repositories 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 list_repositories. 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.
list_repositories is provided by the Bitbucket Server MCP server (manpreetshuann/bitbucket-server-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
