github_batch_commit

What github_batch_commit does on Github

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

Why github_batch_commit is rated Medium

Batch commit creates multiple commits reversibly (can be undone via git revert/reset), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because an AI agent could commit malicious code, introduce vulnerabilities, or corrupt repository history at scale. Confidence is 0.75 rather than higher because the tool description is empty, requiring inference from name and server context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'github_batch_commit' indicates commits to GitHub repositories. The server description explicitly mentions 'push' and 'repository management' capabilities. Batch commit is a write operation that creates or modifies commits in a repository.

The rule that runs github_batch_commit safely

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

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