AI agents use codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file to create or modify resources in Codegraph. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Codegraph.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Mines git history for a specific file to create memories. USE WHEN: wanting to understand the history and evolution of a particular file. Requires uri parameter (file URI).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Codegraph MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Codegraph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file: 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 Codegraph. Nothing to install.
codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file 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 codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file. 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.
codegraph_mine_git_history_for_file is provided by the Codegraph MCP server (codegraph-ai/CodeGraph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
