reply_to_id was added to the add_comment runtime handler in v0.66.1 but was never advertised in the compiled MCP tool schema — causing agents to inspect the parameter list, conclude threading wasn't supported, and silently drop it.

Changes

  • Schema (pkg/workflow/js/safe_outputs_tools.json, actions/setup/js/safe_outputs_tools.json): Add reply_to_id as an optional string property to add_comment's inputSchema, with description covering purpose, auto-resolution of nested reply node IDs to top-level parent, and the discussion-only scope.
  • Validation config (safe_outputs_validation_config.go): Register reply_to_id as an accepted field (string, max 256 chars) so it passes safe-output validation.
  • Description enhancer (tool_description_enhancer.go): Append "Supports reply_to_id for discussion threading." to the add_comment constraint suffix so the capability is visible in the generated tool description.
  • Lock files: Recompiled 46 workflows to pick up the updated schema and description.

After this change, agents discover reply_to_id naturally from the schema — no prompt-level workarounds needed.

Hey @Copilot 👋 — thanks for picking up this bug fix! Documenting reply_to_id in the compiled MCP tool schema is exactly the right fix to eliminate fragile prompt-level workarounds for discussion threading.

A couple of things to address before this is ready for review:

  • No code changes yet — the PR currently contains only an "Initial plan" commit with an empty diff. The actual schema update (adding reply_to_id to the add_comment tool fields and updating the tool description suffix) still needs to be implemented.
  • Add tests — once the schema change is in, please include test coverage verifying that reply_to_id appears in the compiled output for add_comment. This is especially important given the regression history on this field.

If you'd like a hand, you can assign this prompt to your coding agent:

Fix the compiled MCP tool schema for `add_comment` so that `reply_to_id` is advertised as a supported parameter.

Steps:
1. Locate the compiler's tool schema definition for `add_comment` (the JSON block that lists `body`, `item_number`, and `repo`).
2. Add `reply_to_id` as an optional string field (e.g. `{ "type": "string", "maxLength": 256 }`) to that schema.
3. Update the tool description suffix to mention the field, e.g.: "Supports reply_to_id for discussion threading."
4. Add or update tests to assert that the compiled output for `add_comment` includes `reply_to_id` in its parameter list.
5. Run `make test` to confirm all checks pass.

fix: add reply_to_id to add_comment MCP tool schema and validation co…
2286ce3 
…nfig

- Add reply_to_id to inputSchema properties in both safe_outputs_tools.json files
- Add reply_to_id to validation config in safe_outputs_validation_config.go
- Add "Supports reply_to_id for discussion threading." to add_comment constraint text
- Recompile lock files to reflect the schema changes

Fixes: reply_to_id was missing from compiled MCP tool schema causing agents to
skip the field when posting threaded discussion comments.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a schema/metadata gap by advertising the already-supported reply_to_id parameter on the add_comment MCP tool, ensuring agents discover discussion-threading support via the published tool schema and generated descriptions.

Changes:

  • Add optional reply_to_id to the add_comment input schema in both compiled tool-schema JSONs.
  • Register reply_to_id in safe-output validation config (string, max 256 chars).
  • Update tool description enhancement to surface reply_to_id capability, and recompile workflow lockfiles to pick up the new schema/description/validation.
