Get detailed information about a specific commit.
AI agents call get_commit to retrieve information from FastMCP GitHub Automation Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves commit metadata from GitHub without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation that presents minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_commit' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific commit' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific commit. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FastMCP GitHub Automation Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FastMCP GitHub Automation Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 FastMCP GitHub Automation Server. Nothing to install.
get_commit 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 get_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 get_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.
get_commit is provided by the FastMCP GitHub Automation Server MCP server (siddheshdongare/git-pilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
