List iterations (sprints) for a GitLab group. Filter by state (upcoming, current, closed) or search by title. Requires GitLab Premium/Ultimate.
AI agents call list_iterations 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 tool retrieves or queries iteration/sprint data from GitLab with optional filtering by state or title search. It has no side effects, does not create or modify data, and does not execute external operations. It is a pure read operation that retrieves information, making it a Read category tool with low severity since unauthorized access to planning data carries minimal immediate risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_iterations' and description states 'List iterations' with filter/search capabilities. No modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands is performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List iterations (sprints) for a GitLab group. Filter by state (upcoming, current, closed) or search by title. Requires GitLab Premium/Ultimate. 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_iterations: 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_iterations 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_iterations 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_iterations. 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_iterations 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.
