## Facts

- 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": "since",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why since is rated Low

This is a filter parameter for retrieving notifications based on a timestamp criterion. It retrieves or queries data (notifications) with no side effects—no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The tool purely constrains what data is returned from an existing read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'since' with description 'Only show notifications updated after the given time' indicates filtering/querying notifications without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call since 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": {
    "since": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
