WHAT IT DOES

What star_repo does on Forgejo

AI agents use star_repo to create or update resources in Forgejo, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Forgejo environment.

RISK

Why star_repo is rated Medium

Starring a repository is a reversible write action (it can be unstarred). It creates a relationship between the user and the repository but does not modify any repository data or have significant blast radius if misused.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs star_repo 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 star_repo, this is the rule to start with:

star_repo Rate-limited

star_repo stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 star_repo call is checked against it from then on.
