# List a commit's check runs

> List a commit's check runs, named by its SHA, a branch or a tag: those reported through the API and each job of its g1t Actions workflow runs. filter latest (the default) gives each name's latest run and each workflow's latest run per event; all gives every one.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/commits/{ref}/check-runs</code></div>

Narrow with check_name, status and app (a reporter's slug; actions for g1t Actions).

- **Authentication:** Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
- **MCP tool:** [`workflow`](/reference/mcp/#workflow) with `action` `list_check_runs`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`checks:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
