Tool selection guidance:
1. Use 'list_*' tools for broad, simple retrieval and pagination of all items of a type (e.g., all issues, all PRs, all branches) with basic filtering.
2. Use 'search_*' tools for targeted queries with specific criteria, keywords, or complex filters (e.g., issues with certain text, PRs by author, code containing functions).
Context management:
1. Use pagination whenever possible with batches of 5-10 items.
2. Use minimal_output parameter set to true if the full information is not needed to accomplish a task.
Tool usage guidance:
1. For 'search_*' tools: Use separate 'sort' and 'order' parameters if available for sorting results - do not include 'sort:' syntax in query strings. Query strings should contain only search criteria (e.g., 'org:google language:python'), not sorting instructions.`
