AI agents call get_github_repos to retrieve information from Scrumdo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing GitHub repository metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since listing repos exposes only existing project configuration information already documented in GitHub and ScrumDo.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_github_repos' and description states 'List GitHub repos' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List GitHub repos connected to a project (or all org repos). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scrumdo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scrumdo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_github_repos: 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 Scrumdo. Nothing to install.
get_github_repos 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 get_github_repos 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 get_github_repos. 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.
get_github_repos is provided by the Scrumdo MCP server (scrumdollc/scrumdo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
