- Homepage: https://github.com/Sqcows/forgejo-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_following",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_following is rated Low

This is a pure read operation that queries and returns information about a user's following list. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could enumerate user follow relationships but cannot cause harm, financial loss, or irreversible changes. Low severity is appropriate for read-only social graph queries.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_following' and description states it 'List who a user is following' — this retrieves/queries user follow relationship data with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_following 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Forgejo:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_following": {}
  }
}
```
