Create a new wiki page for a GitLab group

How to control create_group_wiki_page ↓

AI agents use create_group_wiki_page to create or update resources in Gitlab — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Gitlab environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates new wiki page resources within a GitLab group, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), involve financial transactions (not Financial), or trigger uncontrolled external operations (not Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_group_wiki_page' and description 'Create a new wiki page for a GitLab group' explicitly indicate creation of new content.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_group_wiki_page gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Gitlab, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_group_wiki_page:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_group_wiki_page": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_group_wiki_page_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_group_wiki_page stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Gitlab — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
