How do I get a Personal Access Token (PAT) for GitHub?

Log in to GitHub, go to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens, and you can generate a new token (classic or fine-grained) there.

Can I read private repositories?

Yes, provided that your Personal Access Token has the necessary scopes (e.g., 'repo') to access your private content.

How do I search for code within a specific organization?

Use the 'search_github_code' tool and include the organization qualifier in your query, for example: 'org:vinkius my-term'.

Can I comment on issues via the agent?

The current version supports creating new issues. For commenting or advanced PR management, you can use the search and metadata tools to gather context.
