List user's repos. sort: updated/created/pushed/full_name.
AI agents call github_list_repos to retrieve information from Android MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries GitHub repository metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational with no side effects on the data or system state. The sorting parameters (updated/created/pushed/full_name) are read operations only. Severity is low because exposing repository list information has minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'github_list_repos' and description states 'List user's repos' with sorting parameters. The verb 'list' and the action of retrieving repository information with no modification capability indicates a read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List user's repos. sort: updated/created/pushed/full_name. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Android MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Android MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for github_list_repos: 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 Android MCP Server. Nothing to install.
github_list_repos 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 github_list_repos 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 github_list_repos. 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.
github_list_repos is provided by the Android MCP Server MCP server (wujie272/android-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
