- 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

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "gitlab_get_security_report",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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')."

## Use case

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.

## 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_security_report": {}
  }
}
```
