create-merge-request

A command for creating a GitLab merge request from the current code branch. A merge request is a proposal to merge one branch's changes into another branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open a merge request, choose its target branch, link related issues, and add labels, reviewers, assignees, or a milestone.
Why use it?
It collects the title, description, labels, and optional review details needed to submit the change in GitLab.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-merge-request scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Create merge request

  1. Determine the current branch name and the default target branch.
  2. Ask the user for a merge request title. Suggest a conventional commit format (feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.) per the gitlab-workflow rule.
  3. Ask for a description. Remind the user to reference related issues with #<issue-number>.
  4. Use search_labels to show available labels and let the user pick relevant ones.
  5. Optionally ask about milestone, assignees, and reviewers. If the user wants to assign themselves or add themselves as a reviewer, ask for their GitLab username.
  6. Use the GitLab MCP create_merge_request tool with the project path, source branch, target branch, title, description, labels, milestone, assignees, and reviewers.
  7. Report the resulting merge request URL.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
