Retrieve all issues originally reported by a specific GitLab user to track reporting patterns, monitor resolution progress, and analyze user feedback across projects.
Instructions
List all issues created/reported by a specific user (including closed ones).
Shows issues where the user is the original reporter/creator. Use this tool to see what problems or requests a user has reported.
Examples:
Bug reporting patterns: get_user_reported_issues(user_id=123)
User feedback analysis
Historical issue creation
Find all issues originally created by the specified user across all accessible projects, with current status and resolution tracking.
For issues currently assigned to a user, use 'gitlab_get_user_open_issues' instead.
Returns reported issues with:
Issue details: title, description, current state
Progress tracking: assignees, resolution status
Timeline: creation, updates, resolution dates
Engagement: comments, watchers, related issues
Project context: where issue was reported
Use cases:
Track personal issue reporting patterns
Follow up on submitted problems
Monitor issue resolution progress
Generate user engagement reports
Parameters:
user_id: Numeric user ID
username: Username string (use either user_id or username)
state: Filter by state (opened, closed, all)
since: Issues created after date (YYYY-MM-DD)
until: Issues created before date (YYYY-MM-DD)
sort: Sort order (created, updated, closed)
per_page: Results per page (default: 20)
page: Page number (default: 1)
Example: Get recently reported issues

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| user_id | No | Numeric user ID | |
| username | No | Username string | |
| state | No | Filter by state | opened |
| since | No | Issues created after date (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| until | No | Issues created before date (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| sort | No | Sort order | created |
| per_page | No | Number of results per page Type: integer Range: 1-100 Default: 20 Example: 50 (for faster browsing) Tip: Use smaller values (10-20) for detailed operations, larger (50-100) for listing | |

Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_gitlab/tool_handlers.py:783-804 (handler)The core handler function that implements the tool logic. Parses arguments and calls the GitLabClient's get_user_reported_issues method to fetch issues reported by the user.def handle_get_user_reported_issues(client: GitLabClient, arguments: Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Handle getting user's reported issues""" user_id = get_argument(arguments, "user_id") username = get_argument(arguments, "username") state = get_argument(arguments, "state", "opened") since = get_argument(arguments, "since") until = get_argument(arguments, "until") sort = get_argument(arguments, "sort", "created") per_page = get_argument(arguments, "per_page", DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE) page = get_argument(arguments, "page", 1) return client.get_user_reported_issues( user_id=user_id, username=username, state=state, since=since, until=until, sort=sort, per_page=per_page, page=page )
