What my_issues does on Gitlab Mcp
AI agents call my_issues 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.
Why my_issues is rated Low
This tool retrieves data (issues) for the authenticated user without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward query operation with minimal risk—viewing one's own assigned issues poses no security threat to the system.
From the tool's definition Tool lists issues assigned to the authenticated user; 'list' is a Read operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs my_issues safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gitlab Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For my_issues, this is the rule to start with:
my_issues 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 Gitlab Mcp, apply this rule, and every my_issues call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about my_issues
List issues assigned to the authenticated user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gitlab Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gitlab MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for my_issues: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Gitlab Mcp. Nothing to install.
my_issues is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the my_issues rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for my_issues. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
my_issues is provided by the Gitlab MCP server (@zereight/mcp-gitlab). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
