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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why list_gitignore_templates is rated Low

This tool merely enumerates pre-defined gitignore templates available on the Forgejo/Gitea instance. It performs a read-only query with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover what templates exist, which is not sensitive information. Even in a malicious scenario, this does not enable harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_gitignore_templates' and description 'List all available gitignore templates' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_gitignore_templates 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_gitignore_templates": {}
  }
}
```
