## What is holding GitLab back

1. **Developer and data sharing program**, 4 points lost. No developer portal or data sharing program was found on public pages. Fix: Document the program, the standard in use for example FDX in US banking, the supported partners and a sandbox.
2. **Documented delegate and data sharing controls**, 4 points lost. No public page on delegate access or connected app controls was found. Fix: Publish a help page on delegate access and add a connected apps screen where customers revoke access.
3. **Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser**, 4 points lost. The sign in page did not load for an agent or a standard automated browser. Fix: Serve the sign in page to verified agent browsers, and use signed agent identity to separate them from attackers.
4. **MCP server**, 3 points lost. The official MCP registry lists com.gitlab/mcp, but the scan did not reach a live endpoint. Fix: Publish a remote MCP server with OAuth. Start with read only tools such as account status, orders or location search, and publish a server card at /.well known/mcp/server card.
