## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why github_get_repo_stats is rated Low

This tool retrieves repository statistics (languages, activity metrics) which are informational queries. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. Even if an agent misuses this tool by querying repositories excessively, the worst outcome is rate-limiting or unauthorized information disclosure from a public/accessible repository—low blast radius compared to write, execute, or destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'github_get_repo_stats' and description 'Get detailed statistics about a repository (languages, activity, etc.)' indicate retrieval of aggregate metadata without modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call github_get_repo_stats 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_repo_stats": {}
  }
}
```
