Bug Fix
The MCP tools audit found a drift:
check_dependency_vulnerabilitiesis exposed by the remote GitHub MCP server but was missing fromsecurity_advisoriesin our toolset-permissions mapping. This change restores mapping/docs parity for advisory-database tools under the existingsecurity-eventsscope.What was the bug?
security_advisoriesdid not includecheck_dependency_vulnerabilities, so our local toolset metadata lagged behind the remotely available MCP tool surface.How did you fix it?
check_dependency_vulnerabilitiesto:pkg/workflow/data/github_toolsets_permissions.json.github/aw/github-mcp-server.md:security_advisoriestableLast UpdateddateTesting
Validation focus remained on the issue scope: preservingsecurity_advisoriestoolset behavior and compile compatibility while adding the missing tool entry.
