WHAT IT DOES

What arvan_git_clone does on ArvanCloud MCP Server

AI agents invoke arvan_git_clone to trigger actions in ArvanCloud MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why arvan_git_clone is rated High

Cloning a git repository executes an external operation (git clone) that writes files to the filesystem. It triggers a network call to fetch remote code and places it on disk, making it an Execute-category action. Misuse could lead to exfiltration of repository contents, execution of malicious code, or filesystem pollution—hence high severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs arvan_git_clone safely

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

arvan_git_clone Rate-limited

arvan_git_clone stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ArvanCloud MCP Server, apply this rule, and every arvan_git_clone call is checked against it from then on.
