// key findings

✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

✅

Open source with a license and README

Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

🔐

You'll be asked for 4 credentials: GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, GITLAB_READ_TOKEN, GITLAB_SHARED_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// required environment variables

This server reads these from process.env. You'll be asked to provide them before it can run.

configGITLAB_ALLOW_SHARED_ESCAPE_HATCH— Allow execute_custom_query / execute_rest_read / execute_rest_write to run on the shared token (otherwise they require per-call credentials) false

configGITLAB_ANALYTICS_MAX_PROJECTS— Cap on projects scanned per group-analytics fan-out (logs when bounded) 500

configGITLAB_AUTH_MODE— the three-way enum is gone. Pick your deployment shape by which env var you set; see [Choose your deployment](#choose-your-deployment).

configGITLAB_MAX_CONCURRENCY— Max concurrent in-flight requests to GitLab (excess queue, never rejected). 0 = unlimited 16

configGITLAB_MAX_PAGE_SIZE— Maximum items per page (1–100) 50
