Get a token
In GitLab: Avatar → Preferences → Access tokens → Add new token (e.g. ORYVOX), with an expiry date. Scopes:
| Scope | Used for |
|---|---|
read_api | Searching issues and merge requests; enough if agents only read |
api | Only if agents will create issues |
A token sees only the projects its owner sees, so a separate user, or a project or group token, is best.
