Why list_pull_requests needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about pull requests from a repository. It performs a query operation that does not create, modify, execute code, delete, or initiate financial transactions. While it provides visibility into repository state, it poses minimal security risk as it only retrieves existing data without side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'list_pull_requests' and described as 'List and filter repository pull requests'. The verb 'list' and the read-only action of filtering/viewing existing pull requests indicates retrieval without modification or side effects.

How to control list_pull_requests

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude TypeScript MCP Servers, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_pull_requests:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_pull_requests": {}
  }
}

list_pull_requests is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Claude TypeScript MCP Servers — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
