Get commits for a specific directory path from Bitbucket. Filters commits by time (default: last 7 days). Useful for analyzing recent changes in a module or package.
AI agents call get_commits_by_path to retrieve information from Error Tracker MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a query/fetch operation that retrieves historical commit data for analysis purposes. It does not modify, create, delete, or execute anything—it simply reads and returns commit information. The time-based filtering is a read-only parameter.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves commits by path from Bitbucket with filtering capability (last 7 days default). Verbs 'Get' and 'retrieves' indicate data query operation with no modification, deletion, or code execution. No side effects mentioned.

Get commits for a specific directory path from Bitbucket. Filters commits by time (default: last 7 days). Useful for analyzing recent changes in a module or package. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Error Tracker MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Error Tracker MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_commits_by_path: 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 Error Tracker MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_commits_by_path 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_commits_by_path 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_commits_by_path. 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_commits_by_path is provided by the Error Tracker MCP Server MCP server (wyccome/mcp-error-tracing). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
