MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Git MCP Assistant Tool tools

Execute · Medium git_checkout git_checkout switches the active branch or working tree state, which is an external Git operation with side effects (modifying HEAD, updating tracked files). Execute · High push_changes Pushing changes to a remote repository triggers an external operation that modifies the state of a remote system. Write · Medium commit_changes The commit_changes tool creates new commit objects in the repository's history, permanently recording staged changes. Write · Medium create_branch Creating a branch is a reversible write operation that modifies repository structure and metadata but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code.

6 of Git MCP Assistant Tool's 13 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Git MCP Assistant Tool

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Git MCP Assistant Tool, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "commit_changes": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "commit_changes_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "clone_repository": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "clone_repository_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
