## About Gitea with LuumenAI

Connect Gitea and ask what your instance is actually running. GITEA_GET_VERSION and GITEA_GET_NODE_INFO answer the build question. The general settings tools cover API limits, attachments, repository feature flags, and UI defaults. GITEA_LIST_GITIGNORE_TEMPLATES and the license, label, and signing key lookups fill in the rest. Read-only, over an API key.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Gitea?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Gitea on its own?

No. Every one of the 19 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from Gitea but cannot change anything in it.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Gitea is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
