Runtime description

The following is the tool's own agent-facing description, reproduced from the reviewed registry. It can contain implementation terminology; it does not expand the public stability commitment.

Read the agent-facing description

Query GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Postgres, MCP bridges, custom REST.
WORKFLOW: action=list first to discover configured providers.
ANTIPATTERN: not for file content — use ctx_compose/ctx_read instead.
provider=id (github|gitlab|jira|mcp:<name>); resource=issues|pull_requests.
Data flows through consolidation pipeline; results searchable via ctx_semantic_search.
