AI agents call github_get_workflow_run to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
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.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access github_get_workflow_run gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for github_get_workflow_run:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"github_get_workflow_run": {}
}
}github_get_workflow_run is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get details of a specific workflow run. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for github_get_workflow_run: 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 Sage MCP. Nothing to install.
github_get_workflow_run 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 github_get_workflow_run 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 github_get_workflow_run. 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.
github_get_workflow_run is provided by the Sage MCP server (sagemcp/sagemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
