get_ipv6_info
Retrieve IPv6 network information from API endpoints by temporarily overriding connection settings to force IPv6 usage for network requests.
Instructions
Retrieves IPv6 information from a specified API endpoint.
This method temporarily overrides the allowed_gai_family method to force the use of IPv6 when making network requests.
It then attempts to fetch IPv6-related information from the configured API URL.
Returns:
dict: A dictionary containing IPv6 information if the request is successful.
Returns an empty dictionary if no information is found or if an error occurs.
Error Handling:
Logs an error message and returns an empty dictionary if a requests.RequestException is raised during the fetch operation.
Also logs the full traceback at the debug level for troubleshooting.

Implementation Reference
- src/mcp_github/ip_integration.py:90-114 (handler)The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'get_ipv6_info' tool. It forces IPv6 resolution and fetches IP information from the configured API endpoint (default: https://v6.ipinfo.io/json), handling errors gracefully.
