WHAT IT DOES

What create_github_app does on Coolify

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

RISK

Why create_github_app is rated Medium

This tool creates a new GitHub App integration, which modifies system configuration by adding a new authentication/integration mechanism. This is a Write operation (reversible creation) rather than Read (no data retrieval), Execute (no arbitrary code execution), or Destructive (not permanent deletion).

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'create_github_app' and described as 'Create a new GitHub App integration.' The verb 'create' indicates a reversible data modification operation that establishes a new GitHub App integration resource.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_github_app safely

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

create_github_app Rate-limited

create_github_app 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.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Coolify, apply this rule, and every create_github_app call is checked against it from then on.
