Why fleet_git_release needs a policy

This tool creates a release PR, which is a write operation that adds new data (PR metadata, branch references) to the Git/GitHub system. While reversible (PRs can be closed/deleted), it modifies production branch workflows and could trigger automated CI/CD pipelines or deployments if merged.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fleet_git_release' and description 'Create a release PR from develop to main' indicate the tool creates a pull request, which modifies repository state by introducing a new PR object.

POLICY

How to control fleet_git_release

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_release:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fleet_git_release": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fleet_git_release_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fleet_git_release 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.

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