WHAT IT DOES

What create_pull_request does on GitHub

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

RISK

Why create_pull_request is rated Medium

Creating a pull request is a reversible write operation that modifies repository state by introducing a new PR, but does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary code. The severity is medium because misuse could introduce unwanted code changes or disrupt workflows, but the changes can be reverted or the PR closed without permanent damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_pull_request' and description 'Open new pull request' indicate creation of a new pull request object in a repository.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_pull_request safely

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

create_pull_request Rate-limited

create_pull_request 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,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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