# get_users Get GitLab user details by usernames Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_users`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/get-users ## Facts - Tool: `get_users` - Server: Gitlab Mcp (`@zereight/mcp-gitlab`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @zereight/mcp-gitlab` - Homepage: https://github.com/zereight/gitlab-mcp - 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": "get_users", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_users is rated Low This tool retrieves user information from GitLab without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing it would only expose publicly or semi-publicly available user profile data. This is a standard Read operation with low severity. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate data retrieval: 'Get GitLab user details by usernames'. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification language confirm this is a query operation." ## Use case AI agents call get_users to retrieve information from Gitlab Mcp 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 Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_users": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Gitlab Mcp (214) - `cancel_pipeline_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/cancel-pipeline-job.md - `delete_branch` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-branch.md - `delete_draft_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-draft-note.md - `delete_group_variable` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-group-variable.md - `delete_group_wiki_page` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-group-wiki-page.md - `delete_issue` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-issue.md - `delete_issue_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-issue-emoji-reaction.md - `delete_issue_link` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-issue-link.md - `delete_issue_note_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-issue-note-emoji-reaction.md - `delete_label` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-label.md - `delete_merge_request_discussion_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-merge-request-discussion-note.md - `delete_merge_request_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-merge-request-emoji-reaction.md - `delete_merge_request_note` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-merge-request-note.md - `delete_merge_request_note_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-merge-request-note-emoji-reaction.md - `delete_milestone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-milestone.md - `delete_project_variable` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-project-variable.md - `delete_release` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-release.md - `delete_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-tag.md - `delete_wiki_page` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-wiki-page.md - `delete_work_item_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-work-item-emoji-reaction.md - `delete_work_item_note_emoji_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/delete-work-item-note-emoji-reaction.md - `omg_clear_state` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/omg-clear-state.md - `omg_delete_memory` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/omg-delete-memory.md - `purge_dependency_proxy_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/purge-dependency-proxy-cache.md - `unprotect_branch` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/unprotect-branch.md - `cancel_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/cancel-pipeline.md - `create_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/create-pipeline.md - `execute_graphql` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/execute-graphql.md - `omg_next_phase` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/omg-next-phase.md - `play_pipeline_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp/play-pipeline-job.md - …and 184 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-zereight-gitlab-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
