search_gitlab_issues
AI agents call search_gitlab_issues to retrieve information from DCI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a search operation on GitLab issues, which is inherently a read-only query that retrieves data without modifying, deleting, or executing external actions. Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the verb 'search' combined with the target 'gitlab_issues' clearly indicates data retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_gitlab_issues' indicates querying/searching for issues in GitLab, which is a retrieval operation with no side effects.

search_gitlab_issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DCI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DCI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_gitlab_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 DCI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_gitlab_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 search_gitlab_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 search_gitlab_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.
search_gitlab_issues is provided by the DCI MCP Server MCP server (redhat-community-ai-tools/dci-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
