What github_get_pr does on Integrations MCP
AI agents call github_get_pr to retrieve information from Integrations MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why github_get_pr is rated Low
This tool retrieves PR metadata and details from GitHub. It performs a query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. The action is read-only and has no side effects, making it a straightforward Read category tool. Severity is low as exposure would only allow viewing of PR information that may already be accessible via GitHub UI.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'github_get_pr' and description 'Get details of a specific pull request' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs github_get_pr safely

github_get_pr is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Integrations MCP, apply this rule, and every github_get_pr call is checked against it from then on.
