What get_git_config does on FeatureBoard
AI agents call get_git_config to retrieve information from FeatureBoard without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_git_config is rated Low
This tool retrieves configuration information from a git repository. Reading git configuration is a non-destructive, query-like operation that does not modify, execute code, or cause irreversible changes. It simply fetches existing configuration data, consistent with the 'Read' category for data retrieval operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_git_config' and description states 'Read the project'. The verb 'Read' and 'get' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_git_config safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FeatureBoard, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_git_config, this is the rule to start with:
get_git_config is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FeatureBoard, apply this rule, and every get_git_config call is checked against it from then on.

Register the FeatureBoard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_git_config: 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 FeatureBoard. Nothing to install.
get_git_config 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_git_config 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.

get_git_config is provided by the FeatureBoard MCP server (https://github.com/valentil/featureboard-mcp/releases/download/v0.7/featureboard.plugin). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
