AI agents call get_branch_overview to retrieve information from Yunxiao without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mrLimit | number | — | Max merge requests returned. Defaults to 5. |
mrState | string | — | Merge request state filter: opened, merged, or closed. Defaults to opened. |
branchName | string | Yes | Branch name, such as main or feature/demo. |
commitLimit | number | — | Max commits returned. Defaults to 5. |
repositoryId | string | Yes | Repository ID (numeric ID or full path like org/repo). Use list_repositories to find the repository ID. |
includeCommits | boolean | — | Whether to include recent commits on the branch. Defaults to true. |
organizationId | string | — | Yunxiao organization ID. When omitted, the server uses the user's default organization. |
includeMergeRequests | boolean | — | Whether to include merge requests targeting the branch. Defaults to true. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs data retrieval only. It queries branch information, commit history, and merge request metadata from a version control system without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The explicit 'read-only' designation and the nature of the returned data (overview, details, history) confirm it belongs in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'read-only call' and retrieves 'branch details, recent commits, and merge requests' — all query/view operations with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a comprehensive overview of a CodeUp branch including branch details, recent commits, and merge requests targeting the branch in one read-only call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yunxiao MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_branch_overview accepts 8 parameters: mrLimit, mrState, branchName, commitLimit, repositoryId, includeCommits, organizationId, includeMergeRequests. Required: branchName, repositoryId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Yunxiao MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_branch_overview: 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 Yunxiao. Nothing to install.
get_branch_overview 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 get_branch_overview 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 get_branch_overview. 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.
get_branch_overview is provided by the Yunxiao MCP server (@futuretea/yunxiao-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
