WHAT IT DOES

What gitignore does on Yaver

AI agents use gitignore to create or update resources in Yaver, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Yaver environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`languages`	array	Yes	Languages (e.g. go, node, python, rust, java)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why gitignore is rated Medium

This tool creates or overwrites a .gitignore file on the filesystem. While generally benign, it modifies a project file that controls which files are tracked by git — misuse could cause sensitive files to be accidentally committed or important files to be ignored. It is a Write operation (file creation/modification) rather than Destructive since .gitignore files can be recovered or edited.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gitignore safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gitignore, this is the rule to start with:

gitignore Rate-limited

gitignore 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.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gitignore": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "gitignore_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every gitignore call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about gitignore

What does the gitignore tool do? +

Generate a .gitignore file for specified languages/frameworks. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does gitignore accept? +

gitignore accepts 1 parameter: languages. Required: languages. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on gitignore? +

Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gitignore: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.

What risk level is gitignore? +

gitignore is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit gitignore? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gitignore 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.

How do I block gitignore completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gitignore. 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.

What MCP server provides gitignore? +

gitignore is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
