Decisions and why

List an issue's decisions

The decision records on an issue (with those on its pull requests) or on a pull request, oldest first: each with its kind (proposal, claim, integration_failure, integration_passed, fix, approval, merge or note), its confidence (claimed: someone said so; tested: a check or a combination of pull requests proved it; approved: a person approved it), who recorded it (absent for g1t), its summary and its evidence.

GET/repos/{owner}/{name}/issues/{number}/decisions

Issues and pull requests share numbers, so number names either.

GET /repos/{owner}/{name}/issues/{number}/decisions lists an issue’s, with those on its pull requests.

Authentication: Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
MCP tool: pull_request with action list_decisions, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs pull_requests:read.
Also at: GET /repos/{owner}/{name}/pulls/{number}/decisions

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like {"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}. See errors.

Status	Code	When
401	`unauthenticated`	A token is required, or the one sent is not valid.
403	`forbidden`	The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change, or a token without the scope it needs.
404	`not_found`	It does not exist, or you cannot see it.
422	`invalid`	The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why.
