Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_tagsA | List the most recent Git tags/releases for a public GitHub repository. Use this first to find valid ref names for generate_changelog. |
| compare_refsA | Show the raw commit diff between two Git refs (tags, branches, or SHAs) in a public GitHub repository, without categorization. |
| generate_changelogA | Generate a clean, categorized Markdown changelog (Features / Bug Fixes / Docs / etc.) between two refs in a public GitHub repository. Uses Conventional Commits parsing where available and falls back to keyword heuristics otherwise. This is the main tool — use list_tags first if you don't know valid ref names. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a distinct purpose: listing tags for reference, generating a categorized changelog, and showing a raw diff. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (list_tags, compare_refs, generate_changelog), making them predictable and easy to remember.
Three tools is perfectly scoped for a changelog-focused server. Each tool serves a necessary step without bloat or deficiency.
The tool set covers the full workflow: listing available refs, generating a changelog, and providing a raw diff for verification. No obvious gaps for the declared purpose.
