gitlab-pipelines

A GitLab CI/CD pipeline tool for checking automated build and test runs, their jobs, and job logs, and for starting a pipeline on a branch or tag.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pipelines for a project, group, or instance, inspect a pipeline's jobs and logs, or trigger a new run.
Why use it?
It helps find failed automation and inspect the logs needed to understand what went wrong.

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

gitlab-pipelines 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitLab Pipelines

Domain-typed review of GitLab CI/CD Pipelines — pipeline results at project, group, or instance scope, the jobs within a pipeline, and per-job logs. Also triggers a pipeline on a ref.

When to use

  • Review pipeline results for a project / ref (is main green?).
  • Review CI results across a group / organization (enumerate projects, then their pipelines).
  • Fetch a single pipeline by pipeline_id, list its jobs, and read a job log.
  • Trigger (run) a new pipeline on a branch or tag.

When NOT to use

  • Gating one MR's merge on its pipeline → gitlab-merge-request-review (it reads the MR's pipeline/jobs/logs directly).
  • Issues, epics, milestones → gitlab-issues.
  • Branch/commit/tag/project reads → gitlab-repositories.

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the gitlab-api MCP server.

Variable Required Notes
GITLAB_URL GitLab instance base URL
GITLAB_TOKEN Access token with api scope (needed to run)
GITLAB_SSL_VERIFY optional TLS verification toggle

Full env/tag matrix: the mcp-client reference agent-tools/mcp-client/references/gitlab-api.md. MCP_TOOL_MODE (condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed vs. one-to-one verbose tools.

Tools & actions

Condensed tool Actions
gitlab_groups get_projects (enumerate a group's projects)
gitlab_pipelines get, run
gitlab_jobs get_pipeline_jobs, get_project_jobs, get_log, retry, cancel

Key parameters

  • Scope — project: gitlab_pipelines get with project_id. group/org: gitlab_groups get_projects (group_id) then gitlab_pipelines get per project. instance: iterate the projects you care about.
  • gitlab_pipelines get: project_id (required); pipeline_id for a single pipeline; filters ref, status, order_by, sort, per_page.
  • gitlab_jobs get_pipeline_jobs: project_id + pipeline_id — the jobs of one pipeline.
  • gitlab_jobs get_log: project_id + job_id — the job trace/log.
  • gitlab_pipelines run: project_id + ref; optional variables object.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

gitlab-pipelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/gitlab-api (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 1,186 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
