GitLab CLI for Cron Jobs

Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config.

Use the headless CLI from cron when an operation should run without an interactive agent session. The GitLab CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# GitLab CLI for Cron Jobs
kosmokrator integrations:configure gitlab --set api_token="$GITLAB_API_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call gitlab.gitlab_create_issue '{"project_id":"example_project_id","title":"example_title","description":"example_description","labels":"example_labels","assignee_ids":"example_assignee_ids","milestone_id":1,"weight":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect GitLab docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs gitlab --json
kosmo integrations:docs gitlab.gitlab_create_issue --json
kosmo integrations:schema gitlab.gitlab_create_issue --json
kosmo integrations:search "GitLab" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
