## Facts

- Tool: `tool_name`
- 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": "tool_name",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why tool_name is rated Low

This tool appears to retrieve or identify the name of a code scanning tool, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. The parameter is optional and informational in nature. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'The name of the tool used for code scanning' - this retrieves or queries metadata about a scanning tool, with no indication of modifying, executing, or deleting anything."

## Use case

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

## 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`
