Get detailed repository statistics including commits, authors, branches, and code changes
AI agents call get_repository_stats to retrieve information from Git Analytics MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries Git repository data (commits, authors, branches, code changes) to provide insights and analytics. It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gaining access could enumerate repository metadata but cannot modify code, execute commands, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] detailed repository statistics including commits, authors, branches, and code changes' — purely retrieval and analysis operations with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed repository statistics including commits, authors, branches, and code changes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Git Analytics MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Git Analytics MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_repository_stats: 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 Git Analytics MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_repository_stats 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_repository_stats 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_repository_stats. 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_repository_stats is provided by the Git Analytics MCP Server MCP server (singhashish4000/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
