WHAT IT DOES

What github_list_pull_requests does on Sage MCP

AI agents call github_list_pull_requests 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_pull_requests is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists existing pull requests from a repository. It performs a read-only query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The verb 'list' is a classic Read category operation. Even if misused by an AI agent, it can only expose information already accessible to the authenticated user, with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'github_list_pull_requests' and description 'List pull requests for a repository' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs github_list_pull_requests safely

github_list_pull_requests Allowed

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