[cli-tools-test] audit tool not exposed via MCP server (gh aw mcp-server) #47209

Description

@github-actions

Problem Description

The gh aw mcp-server does not expose the audit tool, even though audit is a core CLI command (gh aw audit). When running gh aw mcp-server --help, only status, compile, and logs are listed as available MCP tools. This means workflows and agents using the MCP interface cannot access audit functionality.

Command/Tool

  • Tool: audit (missing)
  • Command: gh aw mcp-server --help

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run gh aw mcp-server --help
  2. Observe the listed tools: status, compile, logs
  3. Note that audit is absent
  4. Compare with gh aw --help which lists audit as a top-level command

Expected Behavior

audit should be exposed as an MCP tool, consistent with the other commands.

Actual Behavior

audit is not listed in gh aw mcp-server --help and is not accessible via the MCP interface.

Environment

  • Repository: github/gh-aw
  • Run ID: 29895608013
  • Date: 2026-07-22

Impact

  • Severity: Medium
  • Frequency: Always
  • Workaround: Use gh aw audit CLI directly (requires GitHub auth)

Additional Context

Discovered during daily exploratory testing of the audit, logs, and compile tools via the agentic-workflows MCP server. The test workflow was unable to use audit through the MCP interface.
