What skill_publish_to_git does on LocalAnt
AI agents invoke skill_publish_to_git to trigger actions in LocalAnt. 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 skill_publish_to_git is rated High
This tool runs git operations (init and commit) on a local directory, which are executable actions that modify repository state. While committing is technically reversible (commits can be undone), the 'execute' category fits because it triggers external git operations rather than simply creating/modifying data. It does not push remotely on its own, which keeps severity at medium rather than high.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs skill_publish_to_git safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and LocalAnt, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For skill_publish_to_git, this is the rule to start with:
skill_publish_to_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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect LocalAnt, apply this rule, and every skill_publish_to_git call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about skill_publish_to_git
Initialize/commit a skill directory ready to push to a git remote. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the LocalAnt MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the LocalAnt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for skill_publish_to_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 LocalAnt. Nothing to install.
skill_publish_to_git is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the skill_publish_to_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for skill_publish_to_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.
skill_publish_to_git is provided by the LocalAnt MCP server (yuga-hashimoto/localant). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
