# gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts Download artifacts from a completed job. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-pipeline-artifacts ## Facts - Tool: `gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts` - Server: Gitlab (`dkeeno/gitlab-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/dkeeno/gitlab-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts is rated Low The tool retrieves/downloads artifacts that have already been generated by a pipeline job. This is a read-only operation that queries and fetches existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The artifact download does not alter the pipeline, job, or repository state. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate it 'Download artifacts from a completed job' — a retrieval operation with no side effects on source data or system state." ## Use case AI agents call gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts to retrieve information from Gitlab without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Gitlab: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "gitlab_get_pipeline_artifacts": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Gitlab (55) - `gitlab_delete_branch` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-delete-branch.md - `gitlab_delete_ci_variable` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-delete-ci-variable.md - `gitlab_delete_group_variable` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-delete-group-variable.md - `gitlab_revoke_group_access_token` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-revoke-group-access-token.md - `gitlab_revoke_personal_access_token` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-revoke-personal-access-token.md - `gitlab_revoke_project_access_token` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-revoke-project-access-token.md - `gitlab_cancel_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-cancel-pipeline.md - `gitlab_register_local_runner` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-register-local-runner.md - `gitlab_retry_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-retry-pipeline.md - `gitlab_trigger_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-trigger-pipeline.md - `analyze_pipeline_failure` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/analyze-pipeline-failure.md - `gitlab_clone_repo` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-clone-repo.md - `gitlab_get_file` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-file.md - `gitlab_get_job_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-job-logs.md - `gitlab_get_mr_diff` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-mr-diff.md - `gitlab_get_pipeline_jobs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-pipeline-jobs.md - `gitlab_get_pipeline_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-pipeline-status.md - `gitlab_get_project` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-project.md - `gitlab_get_runner_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-runner-status.md - `gitlab_get_security_report` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-security-report.md - `gitlab_get_security_summary` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-security-summary.md - `gitlab_list_branches` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-branches.md - `gitlab_list_ci_variables` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-ci-variables.md - `gitlab_list_group_access_tokens` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-group-access-tokens.md - `gitlab_list_group_variables` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-group-variables.md - `gitlab_list_groups` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-groups.md - `gitlab_list_mrs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-mrs.md - `gitlab_list_personal_access_tokens` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-personal-access-tokens.md - `gitlab_list_pipelines` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-pipelines.md - `gitlab_list_project_access_tokens` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-project-access-tokens.md - …and 25 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
