SEC436 / MD-GIT-TAG-ALLOWED-TOOLS ​

SEC436 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools grants the exact token Bash(git tag:*).

Why It Matters ​

Blanket git tag authority lets an agent create or rewrite repository tags by default. In shared AI instruction frontmatter, that turns release-signaling actions into broad team policy rather than a narrow reviewed workflow.

Trigger Shape ​

The rule triggers only when all of these are true:

  • the file is an AI-native markdown instruction surface with parsed frontmatter
  • the path is not fixture-like
  • allowed-tools or allowed_tools contains the exact token Bash(git tag:*)

Clean Cases ​

These stay clean:

  • more specific reviewed commands such as Bash(git tag v1.2.3)
  • frontmatter that does not grant git tag
  • fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths

Example Trigger ​

allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git tag:*)
  - Read

Safer Example ​

md
---
allowed-tools:
  - Bash(git tag v1.2.3)
  - Read
---

How To Fix ​

Replace Bash(git tag:*) with a narrower reviewed command pattern, or remove broad tag mutation authority from shared frontmatter entirely.
