What omg_list_active does on Gitlab Mcp
AI agents call omg_list_active 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 omg_list_active is rated Low
This tool retrieves or queries data about active OMG (likely a GitLab feature/mode) with no side effects. It performs a simple listing/retrieval operation typical of Read category tools. Severity is low as listing status information has minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all currently active OMG modes', which retrieves information without modification or execution of operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs omg_list_active 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 omg_list_active, this is the rule to start with:
omg_list_active 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 omg_list_active call is checked against it from then on.
