What cveId does on GitHub
AI agents call cveId to retrieve information from GitHub without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why cveId is rated Low
This is a filter parameter for searching or querying CVE-related data in the GitHub security context. It retrieves information based on a CVE identifier but does not modify, execute, delete, or commit any financial operations. The tool performs a read-only operation on existing vulnerability metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cveId' and description 'Filter by CVE ID' indicate a filtering/querying parameter. The word 'filter' implies data retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cveId 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 cveId, this is the rule to start with:
cveId is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 cveId call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cveId
Filter by CVE ID. (string, optional). It is categorised as a Read tool in the GitHub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GitHub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cveId: 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.
cveId is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cveId 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 cveId. 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.
cveId 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.
