What message does on GitHub
AI agents call message as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.
Why message is rated Low
The description suggests this is a parameter (a commit message string) rather than an executable tool. It describes an input required for another operation (likely a commit), not an action in itself. Since it performs no independent operation, it falls into 'Other'. Confidence is low because the description is uninformative as a tool definition.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'message' with description 'Commit message (string, required)' — this appears to be a parameter/input field descriptor, not a standalone tool with its own action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs message 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 message, this is the rule to start with:
message 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 message call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about message
Commit message (string, required). 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 message: 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.
message 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 message 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 message. 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.
message 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.
