- Homepage: https://github.com/aifity/omnigit-mcp

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

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

## Why startSide is rated Low

This appears to be a parameter descriptor rather than a standalone tool. It describes a property (which side of a diff a comment applies to) and has no independent action or side effect. The description is uninformative as a tool — it reads as documentation for a field within a larger operation. Classifying as Other with low confidence due to the ambiguous nature of this entry.

From the tool's own definition: "'the starting side of the diff that the comment applies to. LEFT indicates the previous state, RIGHT indicates the new state (string, optional)'"

## Use case

AI agents call startSide as a supporting operation in GitHub workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "startSide": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "startside_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
