AI agents call list_branches 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.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries and returns a list of branches from a version control repository. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves metadata about available branches without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_branches' and description 'List branches in a CodeUp repository' indicate retrieval of branch information with no modification or execution of operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List branches in a CodeUp repository. Use this to discover available branches before checking out code or reviewing merge requests. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yunxiao MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
list_branches accepts 6 parameters: page, sort, search, perPage, repositoryId, organizationId. Required: 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 list_branches: 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.
list_branches 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 list_branches 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 list_branches. 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.
list_branches 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.
