WHAT IT DOES

What git_suggest_commit does on Terminal Guardian

AI agents call git_suggest_commit to retrieve information from Terminal Guardian without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why git_suggest_commit is rated Low

This tool reads the git diff and generates commit message suggestions. It does not write, execute, or modify anything — it only analyzes existing diff content and returns text suggestions. The mention of requiring an API key indicates it calls an external service (Claude/Anthropic), but the output is purely advisory text with no side effects on the repository.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs git_suggest_commit safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Terminal Guardian, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For git_suggest_commit, this is the rule to start with:

git_suggest_commit Allowed

git_suggest_commit is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "git_suggest_commit": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Terminal Guardian, apply this rule, and every git_suggest_commit call is checked against it from then on.
