What commitID does on GitHub
AI agents call commitID as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.
Why commitID is rated Low
The description reads like a parameter definition (a SHA identifier input field) rather than a standalone tool that performs an action. There is no operation described — no read, write, execute, or destructive behavior. It likely serves as an argument to another tool. Classifying as Other with low confidence due to the uninformative description.
From the tool's definition Tool description is 'SHA of commit to review (string, optional)' — this appears to be a parameter descriptor, not an actual tool with executable behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs commitID 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 commitID, this is the rule to start with:
commitID gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GitHub, apply this rule, and every commitID call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about commitID
SHA of commit to review (string, optional). It is categorised as a Other tool in the GitHub MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the GitHub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for commitID: 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.
commitID is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the commitID 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for commitID. 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.
commitID 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.
