MCP error -32602: unknown tool "get_job_logs"

[timsearle]

Summary

When using GitHub Copilot CLI with the built-in GitHub MCP server tools, attempts to call the job log retrieval tool fail with:

MCP error -32602: unknown tool "get_job_logs"

This happened while trying to debug a failing GitHub Actions workflow run.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run copilot (tested with Copilot CLI v0.0.374 on macOS).
2. In a repo with GitHub Actions enabled, ask Copilot CLI to fetch failed job logs for a workflow run (e.g. via the GitHub MCP server tool exposed as github-mcp-server-get_job_logs).
3. Observe the tool call failure.

Expected behavior

The tool call should return logs (or at least URLs) for the requested job/run.

Actual behavior

Copilot CLI reports:

MCP error -32602: unknown tool "get_job_logs"

Workaround

Use the GitHub CLI directly, e.g.:

GH_PAGER=cat gh run view <run_id> --log-failed

Additional context

This error occurred twice in the same debugging session; other GitHub MCP tools (e.g. listing runs) were working.

Thanks

Probably related, seeing the same exact issue running the agents when debugging failed CI steps. Happens every time in multiple sessions and in the same session.

This might have been fixed by: github/github-mcp-server#1719 which was merged yesterday, and released to remote GitHub MCP server also. Validating now.

Confirmed working in all environments now.

Amazing! Thank you

Closing as fixed with github/github-mcp-server#1719.
