@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Verify that the new get_gist tool from GitHub MCP Server v0.20.2 is available and functional after the update.

Context

GitHub MCP Server v0.20.2 introduced a new get_gist tool (PR github/github-mcp-server#1105). After recompiling workflows, this tool should be available to workflows using the GitHub MCP server.

Approach

  1. After workflows are recompiled with v0.20.2, inspect a workflow that uses GitHub MCP tools
  2. Use gh aw mcp inspect to verify the get_gist tool is listed
  3. Optionally create a simple test workflow that uses the get_gist tool
  4. Document the tool's availability

Commands to Run

# List workflows with MCP servers
gh aw mcp list

# Inspect GitHub MCP server tools in a workflow
gh aw mcp inspect (workflow-name) --server github

# Check if get_gist is available
gh aw mcp inspect (workflow-name) --server github --tool get_gist

Files to Reference

  • Any workflow file using tools.github configuration
  • Example: .github/workflows/cli-version-checker.md

Acceptance Criteria

  • get_gist tool appears in MCP server tool list
  • Tool description and parameters are accessible via gh aw mcp inspect
  • New tool is documented as available (issue comment)
  • No errors when inspecting the tool

Optional Enhancement

If time permits, create a minimal test workflow:

---
on: workflow_dispatch
tools:
  github:
    allowed: [get_gist]
---

# Test GitHub MCP Server v0.20.2 get_gist Tool

Fetch gist ID `abc123def456` using the new get_gist tool.
