Lister les groupes GitLab accessibles. IMPORTANT : appelez ce tool en premier quand l
AI agents call list_groups to retrieve information from Mcp Gitlab without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a retrieval operation that queries GitLab to list groups. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The recommendation to call it first suggests it's an informational tool used for discovery. Classified as Read with low severity since listing groups is a passive data retrieval with minimal blast radius even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_groups' and description states 'Lister les groupes GitLab accessibles' (List accessible GitLab groups). This retrieves/queries data about groups with no side effects or modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lister les groupes GitLab accessibles. IMPORTANT : appelez ce tool en premier quand l. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Gitlab MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Gitlab MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_groups: 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 Mcp Gitlab. Nothing to install.
list_groups 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 list_groups 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 list_groups. 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.
list_groups is provided by the Mcp Gitlab MCP server (wanadev/gitlab-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
