New Features

1. Default Toolset Configuration Enhancement

• Added support for "default" toolset string in configuration
• Simplifies configuration by allowing "default" instead of explicitly naming toolsets
• Examples:
  • Use "default" instead of "context,repos,issues,pull_requests,users"
  • Use "default,discussions" instead of "context,repos,issues,pull_requests,users,discussions"
• Reference: PR #1229

2. Improved Error Handling

• Unknown toolsets can now be ignored gracefully
• Reference: PR #1202

Tool Consolidation

Pull Request Review Tools Consolidation

The following pull request review tools have been consolidated into a single pull_request_review_write tool:

• create_and_submit_pull_request_review (removed)
• create_pending_pull_request_review (removed)
• submit_pending_pull_request_review (removed)
• delete_pending_pull_request_review (removed)

New tool: pull_request_review_write with method parameter:

• create - Create a new review
• submit_pending - Submit a pending review
• delete_pending - Delete a pending review

This follows the pattern established in v0.18.0 where pull request read tools were consolidated.

Reference: PR #1192

Impact Assessment

• Risk Level: Low
• Affected Features:
  • GitHub MCP Server Docker image version in workflows
  • Pull request review workflow consolidation may require workflow adjustments if using the removed tools
• Migration Required: No
  • The update only changes the default Docker image version
  • Tool consolidation is transparent to gh-aw users unless workflows explicitly use the removed tools
