Scored across 9 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific GitHub Actions operations: canceling runs, getting run details, retrieving logs, listing artifacts, listing runs, listing workflows, rerunning failed jobs, rerunning entire workflows, and triggering workflows. There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun naming pattern (e.g., cancel_run, get_run, list_artifacts) with clear, descriptive names. The pattern is maintained throughout the set without any deviations or mixed conventions.
With 9 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing GitHub Actions workflows, covering key operations like monitoring, triggering, and managing runs. Each tool earns its place without being excessive or insufficient for the domain.
The tool set provides complete coverage for GitHub Actions management, including listing workflows and runs, triggering and rerunning workflows, canceling runs, accessing logs and artifacts, and handling failed jobs. There are no obvious gaps in the lifecycle or workflow operations.
