WHAT IT DOES

What bitbucket_list_branches does on Sage MCP

AI agents call bitbucket_list_branches to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why bitbucket_list_branches is rated Low

This tool retrieves and enumerates existing branches from a repository, which is a read-only operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose information about branch names and metadata, not compromise data integrity or trigger unintended operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bitbucket_list_branches' and description 'List branches for a Bitbucket repository' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.

bitbucket_list_branches Allowed

bitbucket_list_branches is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
