WHAT IT DOES

What git_setup_hooks does on Plugin Hub

AI agents use git_setup_hooks to create or update resources in Plugin Hub, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Plugin Hub environment.

RISK

Why git_setup_hooks is rated Medium

An AI agent can call git_setup_hooks faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Plugin Hub by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs git_setup_hooks safely

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

git_setup_hooks Rate-limited

git_setup_hooks stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "git_setup_hooks": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "git_setup_hooks_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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