List repositories starred by a user
AI agents call list_user_starred to retrieve information from Forgejo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a list of repositories starred by a specified user. It performs no writes, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The operation is a simple data query with no capability to modify state or trigger external actions. The information retrieved (starred repositories) is typically non-sensitive metadata in version control systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_user_starred' and description 'List repositories starred by a user' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_user_starred gives an agent:
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 list_user_starred:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_user_starred": {}
}
}list_user_starred is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List repositories starred by a user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Forgejo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Forgejo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_user_starred: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Forgejo. Nothing to install.
list_user_starred is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_user_starred rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_user_starred. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_user_starred is provided by the Forgejo MCP server (sqcows/forgejo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Forgejo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
