Show recent commit history.
AI agents call git_log to retrieve information from Notes MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
git_log queries and displays version control history. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code or commands that depend on untrusted input. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'git_log' and description 'Show recent commit history' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves commit history without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show recent commit history. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Notes MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Notes MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for git_log: 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 Notes MCP Server. Nothing to install.
git_log 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 git_log 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_log. 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_log is provided by the Notes MCP Server MCP server (oleksiimikotkin/lesson16). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
git_log is one line of Notes MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
