What list_pr_files does on Forgejo
AI agents call list_pr_files 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.
Why list_pr_files is rated Low
This tool queries repository metadata (PR file changes) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk as a standalone operation. The severity is low because even if misused by an AI agent, it only exposes file change information that is typically visible to repository collaborators anyway.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_pr_files' and description 'List changed files in a pull request' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_pr_files safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Forgejo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_pr_files, this is the rule to start with:
list_pr_files is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Forgejo, apply this rule, and every list_pr_files call is checked against it from then on.
