Diagnose git layer authentication and connectivity issues. Use this when git layers fail to load or Azure DevOps PAT authentication is not working.
AI agents call diagnose_git_layer to retrieve information from Bc Code Intelligence without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves diagnostic information about git authentication and connectivity status. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code/commands. While it may require elevated access to read authentication state, the core function is read-only assessment of system connectivity and credential status. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool performs diagnostic analysis of git layer authentication and connectivity issues. The verb 'diagnose' indicates information gathering and troubleshooting without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access diagnose_git_layer gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bc Code Intelligence, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for diagnose_git_layer:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"diagnose_git_layer": {}
}
}diagnose_git_layer is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Diagnose git layer authentication and connectivity issues. Use this when git layers fail to load or Azure DevOps PAT authentication is not working. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bc Code Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bc Code Intelligence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for diagnose_git_layer: 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 Bc Code Intelligence. Nothing to install.
diagnose_git_layer is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the diagnose_git_layer 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 diagnose_git_layer. 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.
diagnose_git_layer is provided by the Bc Code Intelligence MCP server (jeremyvyska/bc-code-intelligence-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Bc Code Intelligence, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
