What omniwire_git does on OmniWire

AI agents invoke omniwire_git to trigger actions in OmniWire. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why omniwire_git needs a policy

This tool allows execution of git commands on remote nodes via persistent SSH connections. While git itself is benign, the 'run git commands' phrasing means an agent could execute any git operation (including destructive ones like force-push, reset --hard, or branch -D), but since the tool itself doesn't define it as purely destructive (git operations are conditional on arguments), it's classified as Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'omniwire_git' with description 'Run git commands on a repository on any node' explicitly indicates execution of arbitrary git commands across distributed infrastructure.

How to control omniwire_git

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OmniWire, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for omniwire_git:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_git": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "omniwire_git_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

omniwire_git stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OmniWire — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on omniwire_git? +

Register the OmniWire MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for omniwire_git: 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 OmniWire. Nothing to install.

What risk level is omniwire_git? +

omniwire_git is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit omniwire_git? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the omniwire_git 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.

How do I block omniwire_git completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for omniwire_git. 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.

What MCP server provides omniwire_git? +

omniwire_git is provided by the OmniWire MCP server (voidchecksum/omniwire). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OmniWire tool call.

Start from OmniWire, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
