What mark_all_todos_done does on Gitlab Mcp
AI agents use mark_all_todos_done to create or update resources in Gitlab Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gitlab Mcp environment.
Why mark_all_todos_done is rated Medium
This tool updates the status of to-do items from pending to done. This is a Write operation because it modifies data reversibly (the user can later unmark todos or the state can be reset). It is not Destructive because the to-do items themselves are not deleted or irreversibly removed.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Mark all pending GitLab to-do items as done' — this modifies the state of to-do items (marking them as done), which is a reversible write operation. The operation affects only the current user's to-do list, not system-wide data.
