WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why fabric_git_create_pull_request needs a policy

Pull request creation is a Write operation because it creates new data structures in the repository that can be closed/deleted if needed. However, severity is elevated to 'high' rather than 'medium' because in an autonomous agent context, maliciously created pull requests could: (1) inject malicious code into review workflows, (2) trigger CI/CD pipelines with side effects, (3) pollute repository history, or (4)…

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Open a pull request' which creates new data (a PR object) in a reversible manner.
