SEC517 / MD-GH-SECRET-DELETE-ALLOWED-TOOLS
SEC517 flags AI-native markdown frontmatter when allowed-tools grants blanket gh secret delete authority.
Why It Matters
gh secret delete can remove GitHub secrets. In shared AI-native markdown guidance that is broader than most teams want to advertise as default agent authority.
Trigger Shape
- the file is an AI-native markdown surface
- the path is not fixture-like
- frontmatter
allowed-toolsorallowed_toolscontains the exact tokenBash(gh secret delete:*)
Clean Cases
- narrower read-only grants such as
Bash(gh secret list:*) - markdown surfaces without blanket secret deletion grants
- fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths
