AI agents call swarm_git_status to retrieve information from Mcp Swarm without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the state of a Git repository (similar to 'git status'), returning information about uncommitted changes, branch status, and file states. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'swarm_git_status' and description '获取 Git 仓库的当前状态' (Get the current status of a Git repository) indicate a read-only operation that retrieves repository metadata without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
获取 Git 仓库的当前状态。. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Swarm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Swarm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for swarm_git_status: 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 Mcp Swarm. Nothing to install.
swarm_git_status 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 swarm_git_status 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 swarm_git_status. 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.
swarm_git_status is provided by the Mcp Swarm MCP server (moselu/mcp-swarm). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
