WHAT IT DOES

What git-commit does on Claude Flow

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

RISK

Why git-commit is rated Medium

Creating a Git commit is a Write operation: it adds new data (commit metadata and references) to the repository's object database and updates branch pointers. This is reversible via git reset or git revert, so it does not qualify as Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'git-commit' and description 'Create a Git commit' indicate the tool creates a new commit object in a Git repository, modifying the version control history.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs git-commit safely

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

git-commit Rate-limited

git-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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "git-commit": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "git-commit_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 Claude Flow, apply this rule, and every git-commit call is checked against it from then on.
