What gitlab_get_security_report does on Gitlab
AI agents call gitlab_get_security_report 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.
Why gitlab_get_security_report is rated Low
The 'get_' prefix strongly suggests data retrieval without side effects, placing this in the Read category. However, security reports may contain sensitive vulnerability data, which justifies medium severity—an agent could leak or exfiltrate this information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gitlab_get_security_report' indicates retrieval of security report data. The naming pattern 'get_*' is consistent with Read operations across the sibling tools (e.g., 'gitlab_clone_repo', 'analyze_pipeline_failure').
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gitlab_get_security_report safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gitlab, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gitlab_get_security_report, this is the rule to start with:
gitlab_get_security_report is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Gitlab, apply this rule, and every gitlab_get_security_report call is checked against it from then on.
