A set of project rules for a tool that lets coding agents work with GitLab, a service for hosting code and tracking software projects. It supports finding projects and issues, browsing repositories, and learning the server's available data structure.

Use it when configuring or operating a GitLab connection for agents such as Claude Code or LibreChat, including repository browsing, project and issue searches, and paginated results.

It gives agents consistent guidance for authentication, pagination, transports, and read or write access. This reduces errors when handling large GitLab results or connecting different clients.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00137	$0.00137
Opus 5.5	$0.00055	$0.00055
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00027	$0.00027
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00014

Security

Grade A, and why

cursorrules 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 5d 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

Canonical repository guidance: CLAUDE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md. Authentication contract: docs/authentication.md. Transport and session contract: docs/deployment.md. Pagination and results: docs/usage.md. Configuration: docs/configuration.md. Tool schemas: src/tools.ts; regenerate docs/reference/tools.md with npm run docs:generate.

Preserve credential precedence, read-only enforcement, host pinning, bounded queues, response limits, cancellation, and read-only retries. Never replay ambiguous writes. Keep OAuth one-time state atomic and Redis encrypted; bind HTTP sessions to bearers. Run relevant tests, typecheck, check:docs, and check:release. Use PRs for protected main.

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.
