Creates a commit with the given message. Returns structured data with hash, message, and change statistics. Pass
AI agents use commit to create or update resources in Make — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Make environment.
This tool creates Git commits, which are reversible write operations (commits can be amended or reverted). While it modifies repository history, commits are not destructive in the strict sense—they preserve data and can be undone. The severity is medium because misuse could create numerous spurious commits that clutter history, but the blast radius is limited since commits don't delete or irreversibly alter data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'commit' and description 'Creates a commit with the given message' directly indicate a write operation that modifies version control state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access commit gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Make, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for commit:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"commit": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "commit_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}commit stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Creates a commit with the given message. Returns structured data with hash, message, and change statistics. Pass. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for commit: 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 Make. Nothing to install.
commit 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 commit 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 commit. 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.
commit is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
