Get a list of enabled code repositories for the organization
AI agents call list_repositories to retrieve information from Tembo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of repositories without side effects. It is a read-only operation that retrieves organizational configuration data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: an AI agent listing repositories gains visibility into infrastructure but cannot alter or execute anything directly.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_repositories' and description states 'Get a list of enabled code repositories for the organization' — a straightforward retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a list of enabled code repositories for the organization. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tembo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tembo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_repositories: 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 Tembo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_repositories 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_repositories 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_repositories. 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_repositories is provided by the Tembo MCP Server MCP server (tembo/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
