WHAT IT DOES

What create_tag does on Forgejo

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

RISK

Why create_tag is rated Medium

Creating tags is reversible; tags can be deleted. Enables version marking but doesn't alter code or delete data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_tag safely

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

create_tag Rate-limited

create_tag 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Forgejo, apply this rule, and every create_tag call is checked against it from then on.
