Get a single label by name from a repository
AI agents call get_label_by_name to retrieve information from AtomGit MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves label metadata by name without modifying any data, triggering side effects, executing operations, or affecting financial resources. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—the worst case would be accessing label information the agent shouldn't see, which is a confidentiality concern rather than a capability risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a retrieval operation: 'Get a single label by name from a repository'. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification language confirm this is a read-only query.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_label_by_name gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AtomGit MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_label_by_name:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_label_by_name": {}
}
}get_label_by_name is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get a single label by name from a repository. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AtomGit MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AtomGit MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_label_by_name: 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 AtomGit MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_label_by_name 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 get_label_by_name 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 get_label_by_name. 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.
get_label_by_name is provided by the AtomGit MCP Server MCP server (kaiyuanxiaobing/atomgit-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from AtomGit MCP Server, 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.
