WHAT IT DOES

What get_issue does on Forgejo

AI agents call get_issue to retrieve information from Forgejo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_issue is rated Low

This tool retrieves data about a single issue without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only query that returns existing data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn information already stored in the repository's issue tracker.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_issue' and description 'Get a single issue by index' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

get_issue Allowed

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