Supported Protection Patterns

• Pipeline names
• Cluster names
• Folder names
• Application names
• Branch names
• Organization names
• Repository names
• Code file names
• Build numbers
• Timestamps
• URLs and paths
• User information
• Token values
• Configuration data
• Log entries
• Error messages
• Stack traces
• Environment variables
• And more...

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Failed: Check your Jenkins URL and credentials
2. Permission Denied: Verify your Jenkins user has appropriate permissions
3. Binary Not Found: Ensure the binary is executable and in your PATH
4. MCP Client Not Responding: Check your MCP configuration
