- Homepage: https://github.com/dkeeno/gitlab-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)

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

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

## Why gitlab_list_projects is rated Low

This tool queries and returns a list of projects accessible to the user. It performs no modifications, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate projects but cannot alter, delete, or execute operations. This is a straightforward Read category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gitlab_list_projects' and description 'List GitLab projects you have access to' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call gitlab_list_projects 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_projects": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
