List git commits linked to Cursor conversations. Filter by conversation ID, project path, or file path. Returns conversation metadata plus linked commits with confidence scores and matched files. Use this to understand the git history associated with your conversations.
AI agents call list_conversation_commits to retrieve information from Cursor Conversations MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves and queries existing data (git commit history and conversation metadata). It has no side effects, does not modify state, and presents no capability to execute code or delete data. The filtering and return of linked commits are read-only operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] git commits linked to Cursor conversations' and 'Returns conversation metadata plus linked commits'. The verbs are 'list' and 'returns', indicating data retrieval only.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_conversation_commits gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Cursor Conversations MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_conversation_commits:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_conversation_commits": {}
}
}list_conversation_commits is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Cursor Conversations MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_conversation_commits: 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 Cursor Conversations MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_conversation_commits 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 list_conversation_commits 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 list_conversation_commits. 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.
list_conversation_commits is provided by the Cursor Conversations MCP Server MCP server (vltansky/cursor-chat-history-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
