List a repository's rulesets

List a repository's rulesets: what may happen to its branches and tags, and what a pull request needs before it merges.

GET/repos/{owner}/{name}/rulesets

With include_parents, also its workspace’s rulesets that hold in it (level workspace). Each has its enforcement (active, evaluate: a dry run that records what it would have refused, or disabled), target (branch or tag), conditions (ref_name include and exclude patterns: fnmatch, ~DEFAULT_BRANCH, ~ALL), bypass_actors and rules. The one made from branch protection settings has source branch_protection.

With include_parents, the workspace’s rulesets that hold in the repository come too, with level workspace. The ruleset made from the repository’s branch protection settings has source branch_protection.

Authentication: Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
MCP tool: repository with action list_rulesets, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs repo:read.

Errors

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 an agent token outside its repository.
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.
