ThumbGate Overview
IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate MCP server evaluates proposed AI coding-agent actions before execution through MCP and PreToolUse hooks. It blocks detected secret leaks and self-disable attempts by default, while warning on other risky command patterns unless strict enforcement is enabled. Feedback captured from past mistakes becomes local lessons and reusable checks. Reach for it when agent tool calls need runtime guardrails without sending enforcement decisions to a cloud service.
Primary Use Cases for ThumbGate:
- Block detected secret leaks before an agent executes them
- Warn on destructive shell commands and force pushes
- Capture feedback about repeated agent mistakes
- Promote recurring failures into local prevention rules
