## Why github_get_issue is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns information about a GitHub issue without modifying state, executing code, or causing side effects. It is a straightforward read operation similar to querying or fetching data. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—it can only expose information the authenticated user already has access to.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'github_get_issue' and description 'Get details of a specific issue' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call github_get_issue 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Sage MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "github_get_issue": {}
  }
}
```
