Why analyze_repository needs a policy

The tool queries and analyzes existing GitHub repository data to extract code examples. This is a read-only operation that retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — worst case being retrieval of sensitive code or confidential repository information, which is a low-severity data disclosure risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Analyze a GitHub repository to find real code examples' — purely a retrieval/analysis operation with no modification or execution of code.

How to control analyze_repository

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Learning Hour MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_repository:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_repository": {}
  }
}

analyze_repository is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Learning Hour MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
