What list_repos does on OpenCodeHub MCP Server

AI agents call list_repos to retrieve information from OpenCodeHub MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_repos needs a policy

This tool retrieves indexed repository metadata without side effects. It queries existing state and returns information to help users select repos for downstream operations, but performs no modifications, executions, or irreversible actions itself. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only surface incorrect repo metadata, not corrupt data or trigger unintended operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Enumerate' and 'Returns' metadata (name, path, commit, timestamp, counts) with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The verb 'list' and absence of any write/execute/delete language confirm read-only behavior.
