GitLab

What is the GitLab tool?

The GitLab tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to interact with gitlab repositories and merge requests. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable. Get your API key at gitlab.com.

How to use GitLab in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable GitLab

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "GitLab" from the dev category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use GitLab when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for GitLab.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use GitLab:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.gitlab import GitLabTools

agent = Agent(
    name="GitLab Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[GitLabTools()],
    instructions=["Use the gitlab tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a gitlab task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN
