FAQPage Schema

How do I check a GitLab merge request for CI failures and blockers?▼

To validate a GitLab merge request, provide the MR URL or number. The process inspects CI check failures, required statuses, and merge blockers, then outputs an actionable checklist with proposed concrete fixes to get the MR merge-ready.

What is the best way to find security signals in a GitLab MR?▼

Finding security signals in a GitLab MR involves inspecting the merge request status for vulnerability findings and dependency updates. The validation detects these security signals alongside CI failures and outputs suggested next steps to resolve them before approval.

Can I use this to get an actionable checklist for a merge request audit?▼

Yes, you can generate an actionable checklist for a merge request audit. By fetching the MR status and checks, it detects blockers and security signals, producing a concrete list of suggested next steps for end-to-end MR audits or quick sanity checks.

Does GitLab MR validation work with assigned or open merge requests across projects?▼

GitLab MR validation is applicable to open or assigned merge requests across GitLab projects. You provide the MR number or URL, and the validation fetches the status, detects blockers, and proposes fixes regardless of the specific project context.

Why do I need to validate a merge request before approvals?▼

You validate a merge request before approvals to quickly identify CI failures, blockers, and security signals. This sanity check ensures the MR is merge-ready by providing an actionable checklist with concrete fixes, preventing broken code from merging.
