[!NOTE] This endpoint is in public preview and is subject to change.

Lists available tools for automations in a repository, including both GitHub-provided tools and tools provided by custom MCP servers.

GitHub-provided tools are returned in named groups, with a name and description provided for each tool.

MCP entries describe configured tool selection, not live discovery or runtime availability. An explicit allowlist is returned in tools, with each id in <server-name>/<tool-name> format, for example sentry/list_issues. An allowlist of ["*"] is returned as supports_wildcard: true with an empty tools array. Server URLs, authentication headers, environment variables, and credentials are never returned.

For MCP tools, a list of configured MCP servers is provided, along with the tools allowlisted for each server. Where supports_wildcard is true, any tool that exists on the server can be used.

GitHub App installation access tokens can list available automation tools. The installation must belong to the repository owner and the token must have "Agent tasks" repository permissions (read).

To call this endpoint, OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need:

• the repo scope for private or internal repositories
• the repo scope or public_repo scope for public repositories
