Add MCP tools list to action logs by Copilot · Pull Request #5813 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2025-12-08T04:04:45Z

The "Available Tools" section was only written to GitHub Step Summary, not to action logs (stdout), making it harder to see which tools were available when reviewing execution logs.

Changes

Modified generatePlainTextSummary() in log_parser_shared.cjs:

Extracts tools from init entry and categorizes by type (Builtin, Safe Outputs, Git/GitHub, Playwright, Custom Agents, etc.)
Adds formatted tools list to plain text summary written via core.info()
Handles pluralization (singular "tool" vs plural "tools")

Added tests:

Coverage for tools list rendering with various tool configurations
Edge cases: empty tools lists, missing init entries

Recompiled workflows:

All 103 workflow lock.yml files updated with embedded JavaScript changes

Output

Action logs now include:

=== Copilot Execution Summary ===
Model: gpt-4

Available Tools:

Builtin: 4 tools
bash, view, create, edit
Safe Outputs: 2 tools
create_issue, add_comment
Git/GitHub: 2 tools
github::search_issues, github::create_issue
Playwright: 1 tool
playwright::navigate
Custom Agents: 2 tools
create-agentic-workflow, debug-agentic-workflow

Statistics:
  Turns: 3

Original prompt

Write mcp tools list in action log when rendering agent logs (currently only show in step sumkary):

Available Tools:

Builtin: 12 tools
bash, write_bash, read_bash, stop_bash, list_bash, grep, glob, view, create, edit, report_intent, fetch_copilot_cli_documentation
Safe Outputs: 5 tools
create_issue, add_comment, add_labels, missing_tool, noop
Git/GitHub: 22 tools
github::get_commit, github::get_file_contents, github::get_label, github::get_latest_release, github::get_me, github::get_release_by_tag, github::get_tag, github::get_team_members, github::get_teams, github::issue_read, github::list_branches, github::list_commits, github::list_issue_types, github::list_issues, github::list_pull_requests, github::list_releases, github::list_tags, github::pull_request_read, github::search_code, github::search_issues, github::search_pull_requests, github::search_repositories
Custom Agents: 6 tools
