Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/cicd-handlers.ts:121-136 (handler)The core handler function implementing the gitlab_create_cicd_variable tool. It validates input parameters, calls the ciCdManager to create the variable, and formats the response.
export const createCiCdVariable: ToolHandler = async (params, context) => { const { project_id, key, value, protected: isProtected, masked, variable_type, environment_scope } = params.arguments || {}; if (!project_id || !key || !value) { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'project_id, key, and value are required'); } const data = await context.ciCdManager.createCiCdVariable(project_id as string | number, { key: key as string, value: value as string, protected: isProtected as boolean | undefined, masked: masked as boolean | undefined, variable_type: variable_type as 'env_var' | 'file' | undefined, environment_scope: environment_scope as string | undefined }); return formatResponse(data); }; - src/utils/tools-data.ts:638-667 (schema)The input schema definition for the gitlab_create_cicd_variable tool, specifying parameters, types, descriptions, and required fields.
