Why gitlab_ci is rated Low
This tool queries and displays GitLab CI status information. It performs no side effects, modifications, or irreversible actions. The verb 'Show' indicates data retrieval only. The low blast radius (viewing CI status cannot damage systems or data) and high confidence in the Read classification make this low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Show current GitLab CI status' — a read-only operation that retrieves and displays status information without modification.

The rule that runs gitlab_ci safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Yaver, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gitlab_ci, this is the rule to start with:
gitlab_ci 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 Yaver, apply this rule, and every gitlab_ci call is checked against it from then on.
