// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call gitPullRepo to retrieve information from ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GITPULLREPO

Even though gitPullRepo only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

How do I enforce a policy on gitPullRepo? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for gitPullRepo. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server MCP server.

What risk level is gitPullRepo? +

gitPullRepo is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit gitPullRepo? +
