WHAT IT DOES

What gluecron_create_branch does on Gluecron

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why gluecron_create_branch is rated Medium

Creating a branch ref is a write operation that modifies repository metadata by adding a new reference to an existing commit. It is reversible (branches can be deleted) and does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move funds. The blast radius is moderate—an AI agent could create numerous branches or pollute the namespace, but this can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new branch ref pointing at an existing sha' and 'Mirrors POST /api/v2/repos/.../git/refs', indicating a POST operation that creates new git references.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gluecron_create_branch safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gluecron, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gluecron_create_branch, this is the rule to start with:

gluecron_create_branch Rate-limited

gluecron_create_branch stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
