What gitea_create_issue does on Crow
AI agents use gitea_create_issue to create or update resources in Crow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.
Why gitea_create_issue is rated Medium
Creating an issue is a write operation that adds new data to a repository. While issues can be deleted or closed, the core action is creating/modifying state. The severity is medium because misuse could result in spam issues, false bug reports, or workflow disruption, but the impact is contained to the repository's issue tracker and reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gitea_create_issue' and description 'Open a new issue in a repository' indicate creation of new data (an issue) in a Gitea repository, which is a reversible write operation.

The rule that runs gitea_create_issue safely

gitea_create_issue 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.
