WHAT IT DOES

What create_private_github_app_application does on Coolify

AI agents use create_private_github_app_application 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_private_github_app_application is rated Medium

The tool creates a new application resource, making it a Write operation. Severity is high because it establishes integration with private GitHub credentials and creates infrastructure that could expose sensitive repository data or enable code deployment pipelines. However, it is not Destructive (not deleting/purging), Financial, or Execute (not running arbitrary code).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create an application from a private GitHub repository'. This irreversibly establishes a new application resource in Coolify linked to a private GitHub repository.
