Highlights

Context Reduction

This release brings context optimisations to get_files, get_pull_request_review_comments, get_pull_request_reviews, add_issue_comments, list_pull_requests, list_tags, list_releases, and list_issues. Tool outputs have been trimmed to only retain information that the LLM needs.

Copilot Tools in Default Toolset

Copilot-specific tools have been moved into the default copilot toolset, making them available out of the box without additional configuration.

MCP Apps UI Improvements

Several enhancements to MCP Apps rendering - including better client support detection, clearer user confirmation prompts for issue and PR creation, and smarter form skipping when issue updates include a state change.
