search_github_issues
AI agents call search_github_issues to retrieve information from DCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on the tool name 'search_github_issues' and the server's documented GitHub integration for analysis purposes, this tool retrieves and queries GitHub issue data. It has no side effects—no data modification, execution of code, deletion, or financial impact. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name strongly suggests a read-only search operation.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'search_github_issues' with empty description, but the name and context (DCI MCP Server integrations for GitHub) indicate it retrieves/queries GitHub issue data without modifying or executing operations.

Register the DCI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_github_issues: 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 DCI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_github_issues 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 search_github_issues 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 search_github_issues. 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.
search_github_issues is provided by the DCI MCP Server MCP server (redhat-community-ai-tools/dci-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
