Why get_milestone needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries a single milestone object from a Forgejo/Gitea repository using its ID. It performs a read-only operation with no ability to modify, delete, or execute any actions. The verb 'Get' and absence of any mutation language confirm this is a simple data retrieval with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_milestone' with description 'Get a single milestone by ID' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_milestone

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

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

get_milestone 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 Forgejo — 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.
