THE RISK

Why get_pull_request needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about an existing pull request without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal risk; the worst misuse would be unauthorized information disclosure of PR details already accessible to the authenticated user.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_pull_request' and description states 'Get details of a single pull request' - this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_pull_request

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_pull_request:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_pull_request": {}
  }
}

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

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