List all stashes in the repository. Shows the stack of stashes that have been created and their descriptions, allowing you to identify the stash you want to apply or pop.
AI agents call git_stash_list to retrieve information from Git MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and displays information about existing stashes without modifying any repository state, files, or commits. It is a pure read operation analogous to 'git stash list' command, which is inherently safe for inspection purposes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'git_stash_list' and description 'List all stashes in the repository. Shows the stack of stashes' explicitly indicates a list/query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all stashes in the repository. Shows the stack of stashes that have been created and their descriptions, allowing you to identify the stash you want to apply or pop. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Git MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Git MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for git_stash_list: 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 Git MCP Server. Nothing to install.
git_stash_list 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 git_stash_list 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 git_stash_list. 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.
git_stash_list is provided by the Git MCP Server MCP server (wty0512/git-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
