- **search_repositories** — Find repos by keyword, language, or topic
- **get_file_contents** — Read a file or directory listing from a repo
- **search_code** — Search code across repositories
- **create_issue** — Open a new issue with title, body, labels, assignees
- **list_issues** — List and filter issues for a repo
- **create_pull_request** — Open a new PR with title, body, head/base branches

- **Investigate an issue**: \`list_issues\` → read issue body → \`search_code\` for related code
