WHAT IT DOES

What base does on GitHub

AI agents call base as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.

RISK

Why base is rated Low

The description suggests this is a parameter (a string input for specifying a base branch name) rather than an actionable tool. It has no described operation — no read, write, execute, or destructive behavior. Confidence is very low because the description is essentially a parameter definition, not a tool description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'base' with description 'New base branch name (string, optional)' — this appears to be a parameter descriptor, not a standalone tool with side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs base 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 base, this is the rule to start with:

base Rate-limited

base gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "base": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "base_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

FAQ

Questions about base

What does the base tool do? +

New base branch name (string, optional). It is categorised as a Other tool in the GitHub MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on base? +

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

What risk level is base? +

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

Can I rate-limit base? +

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

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

base is provided by the GitHub MCP server (oci:ghcr.io/aifity/omnigit-mcp:0.5.0). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
