WHAT IT DOES

What tag does on Make

AI agents call tag to permanently remove resources in Make — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why tag needs a policy

The tool supports deleting git tags, which is an irreversible action (especially if pushed to remote). Since the most severe applicable category applies, and deletion of tags cannot be undone once removed from a repository, this classifies as Destructive. Tag creation (Write) and listing (Read) are also supported, but the delete capability drives the classification.

From the tool's definition Supports list (default), create, and delete actions

POLICY

How to control tag

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Make, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for tag:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "tag"
  ]
}

tag disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Make — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about tag

What does the tag tool do? +

Manages git tags. Supports list (default), create, and delete actions. List returns structured tag data with name, date, and message. Create supports lightweight and annotated tags. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Make MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on tag? +

Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tag: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Make. Nothing to install.

What risk level is tag? +

tag is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit tag? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tag rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block tag completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for tag. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides tag? +

tag is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Make tool call.

Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
