What git_commit does on Mapi Agent Memory
AI agents use git_commit to create or update resources in Mapi Agent Memory, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mapi Agent Memory environment.
Why git_commit is rated Medium
This tool creates (writes) new git commits and can stage changes, which are reversible operations. While git commits are persistent in history, they can be amended or reverted, distinguishing this from Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could pollute repository history or commit sensitive data, but the impact is scoped to a single repository and reversible through standard git operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'git_commit' and description 'Create a git commit. Optionally stages all changes first.' indicate creation of a new git commit object, which modifies the repository state by adding a new commit to the git history.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs git_commit safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mapi Agent Memory, 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 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mapi Agent Memory, apply this rule, and every git_commit call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about git_commit
Create a git commit. Optionally stages all changes first. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mapi Agent Memory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for git_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 Mapi Agent Memory. Nothing to install.
git_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 git_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 git_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.
git_commit is provided by the Mapi Agent Memory MCP server (cabo0m/mapi-agent-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
