git-commit · Ruflo MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What git-commit does on Ruflo

AI agents use git-commit to create or update resources in Ruflo — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ruflo environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why git-commit needs a policy

Git commits are Write operations because they create new data (commit objects) in a repository. While commits are theoretically reversible via reset/rebase, they are permanent additions to repository history and can affect collaborative workflows.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'git-commit' and description states 'Create a Git commit', which creates a new commit object in a Git repository. This is a reversible write operation that modifies repository history.

Verdict

git-commit Rate-limited

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.
