THE RISK

Why git_integration needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays metadata about the relationships between sessions and git repositories. It performs no mutations to repositories, no code execution, and no destructive operations. The primary function is to query and present information about existing session-repository associations, which is characteristic of a Read-category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Link sessions to git branches and commits' and 'Shows which sessions are tied to which repositories.' The verb 'shows' and the context of linking/viewing relationships indicates data retrieval and observation of session-to-git…

POLICY

How to control git_integration

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Code Toolkit, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for git_integration:

policy.json

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

git_integration is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Claude Code Toolkit — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about git_integration

What does the git_integration tool do? +

Link sessions to git branches and commits. Shows which sessions are tied to which repositories. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Code Toolkit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on git_integration? +

Register the Claude Code Toolkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for git_integration: 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 Claude Code Toolkit. Nothing to install.

What risk level is git_integration? +

git_integration is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit git_integration? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the git_integration 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.

How do I block git_integration completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for git_integration. 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.

What MCP server provides git_integration? +

git_integration is provided by the Claude Code Toolkit MCP server (asifkibria/claude-code-toolkit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Claude Code Toolkit tool call.

Start from Claude Code Toolkit, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
