## Facts

- Tool: `secret_type`
- Server: GitHub (`oci:ghcr.io/aifity/omnigit-mcp:0.5.0`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-aifity-omnigit-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/aifity/omnigit-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "secret_type",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why secret_type is rated Low

The description reads like a parameter definition for filtering secret scanning results, not an action tool itself. It describes a read/query operation (returning secret types/patterns) with no side effects. Confidence is low because the description is uninformative as a standalone tool — it appears to be a parameter fragment rather than a complete tool description.

From the tool's own definition: "'A comma-separated list of secret types to return' — this appears to be a filter/query parameter descriptor rather than a standalone tool description"

## Use case

AI agents call secret_type 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches GitHub:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "secret_type": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
