WHAT IT DOES

What release-create does on Git

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

RISK

Why release-create is rated Medium

This tool creates and publishes GitHub releases, which is a write operation that persists data in the repository. While releases can technically be deleted (making it reversible), the creation itself is a write action. It's not Destructive because deletions of releases are a separate operation.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new GitHub release, which is a persistent, reversible modification operation. The description explicitly states 'Creates a new GitHub release with optional asset uploads' and returns structured data confirming the creation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs release-create safely

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

release-create Rate-limited

release-create 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.
