Manage Git tags: create, list, delete, or show tag details
AI agents call git-tag to permanently remove resources in GitHub MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool supports deleting tags, which is an irreversible operation (especially for pushed/shared tags). Since the tool spans Read, Write, and Destructive actions, the most severe applicable category is Destructive. Severity is medium because deleting a tag affects version references and release markers but does not destroy code history itself.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Manage Git tags: create, list, delete, or show tag details. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the GitHub MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the GitHub MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for git-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 GitHub MCP Server. Nothing to install.
git-tag is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the git-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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for git-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.
git-tag is provided by the GitHub MCP Server MCP server (jungchihoon/github-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
