Why gitlab_pipelines is rated Low
This tool performs a read-only operation—listing existing CI/CD pipelines. It retrieves data about pipeline status and history without side effects. While pipelines can reveal information about deployment processes, the tool itself does not trigger execution, modify configurations, or change state. The blast radius is minimal as it only returns information available to authenticated users with pipeline visibility.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'gitlab_pipelines' and description 'List GitLab CI/CD pipelines' indicate a query operation that retrieves pipeline data without modifying, deleting, or executing code.

The rule that runs gitlab_pipelines 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_pipelines, this is the rule to start with:
gitlab_pipelines 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_pipelines call is checked against it from then on.
