FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tools does the GitLab MCP server expose?

The GitLab MCP Server exposes 15 tools across 3 categories: Read, Write, Other. Each tool can be individually controlled with Intercept policies.

How do I enforce policies on GitLab?

Download the policy scaffold, add rules (rate limits, argument validation, deny rules), then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the GitLab MCP server. Every tool call is evaluated against your YAML policy before execution.

Is the GitLab policy free to use?

Yes. All Intercept policies are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. Download, modify, and deploy without restrictions.
