# Return comprehensive readiness assessment
```
## Integration with Existing Tools
### Enhanced Message Generation
```python
# Modify existing generate_commit_message to include git preview
@mcp.tool()
def generate_commit_message(
type: str,
subject: str,
body: Optional[str] = None,
scope: Optional[str] = None,
breaking: Optional[bool] = False,
footer: Optional[str] = None,
include_git_preview: bool = False
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Enhanced version with optional git preview."""
# Generate message using existing logic
# If include_git_preview=True and git_enabled:
# Add git preview to response
# Return enhanced result with optional git context
```
## Safety Mechanisms
### Default Safety Settings
```python
# All git operations default to safe mode:
DEFAULT_SAFETY_CONFIG = {
"dry_run": True, # Preview by default
"force_required": True, # Require explicit force flag
"validate_message": True, # Always validate messages
"check_repository": True, # Validate repo state
"require_staged": False, # Allow empty commits for testing
}
```
### Error Handling Patterns
```python
def safe_git_operation(operation_func):
"""Decorator for safe git operations with consistent error handling."""
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
try:
# Check git availability
# Validate parameters
# Execute operation
# Return standardized response
except GitOperationError as e:
return {"error": str(e), "success": False, "type": "git_error"}
except CommitValidationError as e:
return {"error": str(e), "success": False, "type": "validation_error"}
except Exception as e:
return {"error": str(e), "success": False, "type": "unexpected_error"}
return wrapper
```
## Usage Flow Examples
### Basic Commit Workflow
```python
# 1. Check repository status
status = get_git_status()
# 2. Generate and preview commit
preview = generate_and_commit(
type="feat",
subject="add git commit functionality",
preview_only=True
)
# 3. AI Assistant shows preview to user
# "This will commit 3 files with message 'feat: add git commit functionality'. Proceed?"
# 4. Execute after user approval
if user_approves:
result = execute_git_commit(
message=preview["message"],
stage_all=True,
force_execute=True
)
```
### Selective File Commit
```python
# 1. Stage specific files and commit
result = stage_files_and_commit(
files=["src/new_feature.py", "tests/test_new_feature.py"],
message="feat: implement new feature with tests",
dry_run=False # Execute after user approval
)
```
## Success Criteria

## Implementation Status
### ⚠️ LOCAL USAGE: Minimal Security Requirements
**Status**: ⚠️ **CAN PROCEED WITH BASIC SECURITY FOR LOCAL USAGE**
Based on local usage analysis in `journal/git/local-usage-security-analysis.md`, this task can proceed with minimal security requirements.
**Revised Risk Assessment for Local Usage**:
1. **Command Injection** (MEDIUM - reduced from HIGH) - Basic sanitization needed
2. **Directory Traversal** (MEDIUM - reduced from HIGH) - Basic path validation needed
3. **Accidental Data Loss** (MEDIUM) - Already mitigated by force flags
**Eliminated Risks for Local Usage**:
- ✅ DDoS/Rate Limiting - Not applicable for single user
- ✅ Network-based attacks - No network exposure
- ✅ Multi-user access control - Single user environment
- ✅ External privilege escalation - User already has local access
**Reference**: See `journal/git/local-usage-security-analysis.md` for complete local usage assessment.
### Minimal Security Implementation for Local Usage
#### 1. Basic Input Sanitization (CRITICAL for local usage)
```python
def sanitize_commit_message(message: str) -> str:
"""Basic sanitization for local usage."""
# Remove dangerous shell metacharacters
dangerous_chars = ['`', '$', ';', '|', '&', '>', '<']
for char in dangerous_chars:
message = message.replace(char, '')
# Basic length limit
if len(message) > 1000:
raise ValueError("Commit message too long")
return message.strip()
```
#### 2. Basic Path Validation (CRITICAL for local usage)
```python
def validate_file_path(file_path: str, repo_root: Path) -> str:
"""Basic path validation for local usage."""
# Resolve path and ensure it's within repository
full_path = (repo_root / file_path).resolve()
if not str(full_path).startswith(str(repo_root.resolve())):
raise ValueError(f"File path outside repository: {file_path}")
return file_path
```
#### 3. Existing Safety Mechanisms (ALREADY IMPLEMENTED ✅)
- Force flag requirement for execution
- Preview mode defaults
- Repository validation
- Error handling
#### 4. Optional for Local Usage
```python
def basic_logging(operation: str, details: Dict[str, Any]):
"""Optional: Basic logging for debugging."""
logger.info(f"Git operation: {operation} | Details: {details}")
```
### Proposed Secure MCP Tools (POST-SECURITY)
**⚠️ WARNING**: These tools should NOT be implemented until security requirements are met.
```python
# ONLY implement after security fixes
@mcp.tool()
def get_git_status_secure() -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Secure version with audit logging and validation."""
# 1. Log operation attempt
# 2. Validate user permissions
# 3. Execute with security controls
# 4. Log operation result
@mcp.tool()
def preview_git_commit_secure(message: str, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Secure preview with input sanitization."""
# 1. Sanitize commit message
# 2. Validate file paths
# 3. Check permissions
# 4. Execute preview with audit logging
@mcp.tool()
def execute_git_commit_secure(
message: str,
force_execute: bool = False,
**kwargs
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Secure commit execution with comprehensive controls."""
# 1. Rate limit check
# 2. Input sanitization
# 3. Permission validation
# 4. Audit logging
# 5. Execute with security controls
# 6. Log result
```
### Security-First Implementation Approach
#### Phase 1: Security Foundation (REQUIRED FIRST)
1. Implement input sanitization functions
2. Create permission management system
3. Add comprehensive audit logging
4. Implement rate limiting
5. Add security configuration management
#### Phase 2: Secure MCP Integration (AFTER PHASE 1)
1. Create security-wrapped MCP tools
2. Add security middleware for all git operations
3. Implement user context tracking
4. Add security monitoring and alerting
#### Phase 3: Testing and Validation (FINAL)
1. Security penetration testing
2. Injection attack testing
3. Permission bypass testing
4. Rate limiting validation
## Current Recommendation for Local Usage
### ✅ CAN PROCEED WITH MINIMAL SECURITY FOR LOCAL USAGE
**Reason**: Local-only deployment significantly reduces security risks and requirements.
### 🔒 Simplified Local Development Approach
1. **Implement minimal security** (~1.5 hours):
- Basic input sanitization for commit messages
- Basic path validation for file operations
- Basic tests for security functions
2. **Implement MCP tools** with basic security
3. **Test local usage workflows**
4. **Iterate based on user feedback**
## Next Steps for Local Usage
### Phase 1: Minimal Security Implementation (~1.5 hours)
1. **Add basic input sanitization** (30 minutes)
- Implement `sanitize_commit_message()` function
- Remove shell metacharacters from commit messages
- Add basic length validation
2. **Add basic path validation** (15 minutes)
- Implement `validate_file_path()` function
- Ensure file operations stay within repository bounds
- Prevent directory traversal attacks
3. **Add basic security tests** (30 minutes)
- Test input sanitization functionality
- Test path validation functionality
- Test existing force flag and preview mechanisms
4. **Update GitService** (15 minutes)
- Integrate sanitization into commit operations
- Add path validation to file operations
### Phase 2: MCP Integration (After Phase 1)
1. **Implement MCP tools** with basic security
2. **Add integration tests** for MCP workflows
3. **Test end-to-end local usage scenarios**
4. **User testing and feedback**
### Success Criteria for Local Usage
- [ ] Basic input sanitization implemented and tested
- [ ] Basic path validation implemented and tested
- [ ] MCP tools working with security controls
- [ ] Local usage workflows functional
- [ ] Force flags and preview modes working correctly
**✅ ACCEPTABLE**: Current implementation with minimal security additions is safe for local development use.
