# gitlab_list_ci_variables List all CI/CD variables for a project. Values are NOT returned for masked variables. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `gitlab_list_ci_variables`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-list-ci-variables ## Facts - Tool: `gitlab_list_ci_variables` - 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_list_ci_variables", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why gitlab_list_ci_variables is rated Low This tool retrieves or queries CI/CD variable metadata without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Even though CI variables may contain sensitive information, the tool explicitly prevents exposure of masked variable values, limiting the data returned to non-sensitive metadata. The action is purely informational with no capability to alter state. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gitlab_list_ci_variables' and description 'List all CI/CD variables for a project' indicate data retrieval with no side effects." ## Use case AI agents call gitlab_list_ci_variables 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_list_ci_variables": {} } } ``` ## 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_artifacts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dkeeno-gitlab-mcp-server/gitlab-get-pipeline-artifacts.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_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.
