- 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": "list_milestones",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_milestones is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves milestone data from GitLab, allowing filtering but not creating, modifying, or deleting milestones. It is a read-only operation with no state changes or external side effects. The risk is low because exposure of this tool only allows an AI agent to view existing milestone information.

From the tool's own definition: "'List milestones with filtering options' — the verb 'list' and the absence of any modification language ('create', 'update', 'delete') indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_milestones 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": {
    "list_milestones": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
