Part of the Gitrama server.

gitrama_scan is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call gitrama_scan to retrieve information from Gitrama without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though gitrama_scan only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access gitrama_scan gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so gitrama_scan only ever does what you allow.

What does the gitrama_scan tool do? +

Run a full structural health scan of the repository. Scores every file for continuity risk, boundary entropy, and recurrence patterns. Identifies coupling hotspots and contributor concentration before they compound into failures. Results are cached in last_scan.json for use by gtr diff and gtr review.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gitrama MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on gitrama_scan? +

Register the Gitrama MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gitrama_scan: 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 Gitrama. Nothing to install.

What risk level is gitrama_scan? +

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

Can I rate-limit gitrama_scan? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gitrama_scan 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 gitrama_scan completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gitrama_scan. 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 gitrama_scan? +

gitrama_scan is provided by the Gitrama MCP server (GitramaLLC/gitrama-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Gitrama tool call.
