WHAT IT DOES

What get_commit does on GitHub

AI agents call get_commit 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.

RISK

Why get_commit is rated Low

This tool purely retrieves existing commit metadata from GitHub. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. It is a straightforward read operation querying Git history.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_commit' and description states 'Get commit details' — retrieves commit information without modifying or executing anything.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_commit Allowed

get_commit is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_commit": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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