What github_get_workflow_run does on Sage MCP
AI agents call github_get_workflow_run 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.
Why github_get_workflow_run is rated Low
This tool retrieves information about a GitHub Actions workflow run. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying workflow run details classify it as a Read operation. Severity is low because retrieving workflow metadata poses minimal risk—it exposes information that is typically visible in GitHub's UI to authorized users, with no side effects or ability to modify, delete, or trigger actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'github_get_workflow_run' and description 'Get details of a specific workflow run' indicate retrieval of workflow execution metadata without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs github_get_workflow_run safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For github_get_workflow_run, this is the rule to start with:
github_get_workflow_run is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sage MCP, apply this rule, and every github_get_workflow_run call is checked against it from then on.
