Part of the Appcircle MCP server.

commit_hash can modify Appcircle MCP data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use commit_hash to create or modify resources in Appcircle MCP. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call commit_hash repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Appcircle MCP.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access commit_hash 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 commit_hash only ever does what you allow.

What does the commit_hash tool do? +

The commit hash (git SHA). (string, optional). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Appcircle MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on commit_hash? +

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

What risk level is commit_hash? +

commit_hash is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit commit_hash? +

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

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

commit_hash is provided by the Appcircle MCP server (https://mcp.appcircle.io). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Appcircle MCP tool call.
