WHAT IT DOES

What github_list_organizations does on Sage MCP

AI agents call github_list_organizations 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 github_list_organizations is rated Low

This tool retrieves organizational membership information for the authenticated user. It performs a read-only query against GitHub's API and does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or involve financial operations. The information returned is scoped to the user's own organizational memberships, limiting blast radius. Severity is low as listing organizations is a benign informational query.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'github_list_organizations' and description 'List organizations the user belongs to' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs github_list_organizations 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_list_organizations, this is the rule to start with:

github_list_organizations Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "github_list_organizations": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sage MCP, apply this rule, and every github_list_organizations call is checked against it from then on.
