## Why create_branch is rated Medium

Creating a branch in a CMS context is a write operation—it adds a new versioning construct that can be deleted or merged. It is reversible and does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move money. Severity is medium because branch proliferation could create organizational overhead or confusion, but the direct blast radius is limited to version control metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_branch' which creates a new branch—a reversible write operation typical in version control systems."

## Use case

AI agents use create_branch to create or update resources in Storyblok MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Storyblok MCP Server environment.
