Capabilities
- Explore repositories and summarize commits and READMEs.
- List issues and draft triage comments.
- Review pull requests and comment on risk.
- Search code across a repository.
Limitations
- The connector page markets broad read-and-write access without enumerating a full action list — whether it can merge PRs, delete branches, or manage repo settings is unknown.
