Why fleet_git_pr_create needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a GitHub pull request) that is reversible but persistent. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money, placing it in the Write category. Severity is high because a malicious or confused agent could create unwanted PRs that trigger CI/CD pipelines, notifications, and deployment workflows in production, or inject malicious code into review processes.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a pull request on GitHub, which creates a new record in version control with persistent side effects. The description explicitly states 'Create a pull request', indicating a write operation that modifies GitHub's state by creating a new PR.

How to control fleet_git_pr_create

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fleet, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fleet_git_pr_create:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fleet_git_pr_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fleet_git_pr_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fleet_git_pr_create 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Fleet — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
