GitHub

Use the github tool for GitHub repository, issue, pull request, commit, search, and file requests.

Repository Inputs

• Prefer explicit owner and repo.
• If tenant plugin configuration provides a default owner and repository, the tool wrapper can fill them.
• If no repository is explicit or configured, ask for <owner>/<repo> before repository-scoped operations.

Common Operations

• Repository metadata: operation="get_repo".
• Issues: list_issues, get_issue, create_issue.
• Pull requests: list_pull_requests, get_pull_request.
• Comments: create_issue_comment.
• Search: search_repositories with query.
• Files: get_file with path and optional ref.
• Commits: list_commits with optional ref.

Write Safety

Mutating operations require confirm_write=true and a configured token environment variable. Use writes only when the user clearly asked to create or comment on a GitHub resource.

Configuration

The plugin reads GitHub credentials from an environment variable, defaulting to GITHUB_TOKEN. For GitHub Enterprise, configure api_base_url.
