Check if a commit message follows conventions (imperative mood, subject length, structure)
AI agents call review_commit_message to retrieve information from Engineering Standards without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool validates/checks a commit message against conventions. It is purely analytical — reading and evaluating input — with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations triggered. Misuse potential is minimal.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check if a commit message follows conventions (imperative mood, subject length, structure). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Engineering Standards MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Engineering Standards MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for review_commit_message: 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 Engineering Standards. Nothing to install.
review_commit_message 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 review_commit_message 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 review_commit_message. 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.
review_commit_message is provided by the Engineering Standards MCP server (rajgurung/claude-engineering-standards). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
