gitlab-vulnerabilities

A GitLab review tool for project dependencies and reported security vulnerabilities. GitLab is a platform for hosting code and managing software projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project's dependency list, review vulnerabilities in a project or group, and retrieve a specific vulnerability by its global ID.
Why use it?
It brings dependency and vulnerability checks into the coding workflow, so security findings can be reviewed in one place.

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-vulnerabilities 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 yesterday.

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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitLab Vulnerabilities

Domain-typed review of a GitLab project's Dependency List and security vulnerabilities — the GitLab equivalent of GitHub's Dependabot dependency/vulnerability review. Covers dependencies at project scope, vulnerabilities at project and group scope, and a single vulnerability by its global ID.

When to use

  • Audit a project's dependencies (the Dependency List) — optionally filtered by package manager.
  • Review a project's security vulnerabilities (Ultimate).
  • Review a group's security vulnerability findings across its projects (Ultimate).
  • Fetch one vulnerability by its global vulnerability_id.

When NOT to use

  • Publishing/reading packages in the package registry → gitlab-packages.
  • CI/CD pipeline results and job logs → gitlab-pipelines.
  • 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; project/group Reporter+ for security data
GITLAB_SSL_VERIFY optional TLS verification toggle
VULNERABILITIESTOOL optional Tool-group toggle (defaults True); set False to disable

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.

The Vulnerabilities and findings endpoints require GitLab Ultimate with security scanning enabled. The Dependency List requires a Dependency Scanning job to have run. Without these the endpoints return empty results or 403/404 — that is a licensing/config state, not a tool bug.

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-vulnerabilities is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/gitlab-api (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 1,262 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.
