WHAT IT DOES

What edit_org does on Forgejo

AI agents use edit_org 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 edit_org is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies organizational configuration/metadata reversibly without permanently deleting data or executing arbitrary code. In a Forgejo/Gitea context, editing an organization could affect permissions, settings, and visibility for many repositories and users, warranting 'high' severity due to blast radius, but it is reversible and thus Write not Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'edit_org' and description 'Edit an organization' indicate modification of organizational data/settings.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs edit_org 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 edit_org, this is the rule to start with:

edit_org Rate-limited

edit_org 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.

      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "edit_org_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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