## Why update_git_repo is rated High

Pulling/updating a Git repository executes an external operation that fetches and applies remote code changes to the server. This can trigger deployment pipelines, overwrite existing files, and introduce new code that executes in the hosting environment. The operation has significant blast radius if misused (e.g., pulling malicious code), making it high severity under the Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "Pull/update a Git repository"

## Use case

AI agents invoke update_git_repo to trigger actions in cPanel MCP Server. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
