gitea-releases was the weakest skill in the plugin: no allowed-tools, no owner/repo resolution, and a checkbox list where a dispatch table belongs, so an agent reaching it had to guess both its permissions and its inputs. The id-vs-tag_name trap — deleting by tag name where the API wants the numeric id — is restored as an explicit Gotcha because it destroys the wrong release silently. Elsewhere the `exclusive` flag was documented on the wrong side of the read/write split, and label data from one instance was presented as though it were universal, which invites an agent to assume a taxonomy that does not exist on the target repo. rename_branch was missing from the branch surface. Reference prose and fences are cleaned up in passing.

# Commit operations
|
|
|
|
Read-only commit history, scoped to a repo (optionally to one branch or one path). Call signatures
|
|
below were verified live against the deployed `gitea-mcp` server via `ToolSearch`, not copied from
|
|
research docs, for the same drift-avoidance reason noted in `references/branches.md`. **Last verified
|
|
against gitea-mcp v1.7.0**, as reported by `get_gitea_mcp_server_version`.
|
|
|
|
This domain has no prior skill precedent — it's new coverage added alongside branches because commit
|
|
history is naturally scoped to a branch (a "what happened on this branch" question), not because it
|
|
shares any tool family with branch create/delete.
|
|
|
|
## `list_commits`
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:**
|
|
- `owner` (string, required)
|
|
- `repo` (string, required)
|
|
- `sha` (string, optional) — starting SHA or branch name; if omitted, gitea-mcp uses the repo's
|
|
default branch
|
|
- `path` (string, optional) — restrict results to commits that touched this file/path
|
|
- `page` (number, optional, default: `1`, minimum: `1`)
|
|
- `per_page` (number, optional, default: `30`, minimum: `1`)
|
|
|
|
**Call:**
|
|
```text
|
|
list_commits owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <branch-or-sha> path: <optional-path>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Dispatch defaults:
|
|
- "commits on `<branch>`" → pass `<branch>` as `sha`.
|
|
- "commits touching `<path>`" (no branch mentioned) → pass `path` alone, `sha` omitted (defaults to
|
|
the repo's default branch).
|
|
- Both given → pass both; the result is history for that path, walked from that branch/SHA.
|
|
- Neither given → omit both; this returns default-branch history, which is a reasonable default for
|
|
an open-ended "what's the recent history here" question.
|
|
|
|
**Response:** one object per commit: `sha`, `html_url`, `created`, `message` (when available),
|
|
`author` (`{name, email, date}`, when available).
|
|
|
|
Paginate per the pagination Gotcha in SKILL.md if you need more than one page of history.
|
|
|
|
## `get_commit`
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:**
|
|
- `owner` (string, required)
|
|
- `repo` (string, required)
|
|
- `sha` (string, required)
|
|
|
|
**Call:**
|
|
```text
|
|
get_commit owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <commit-sha>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Response:** same shape as a `list_commits` entry, but always fully populated (`message` and
|
|
`author` are guaranteed present, not conditional). Use this when the user asks about one specific
|
|
commit by SHA rather than browsing history — `list_commits` entries may omit `message`/`author` in
|
|
edge cases, `get_commit` will not.
|
|
|
|
## Token scope
|
|
|
|
Both tools are believed to require `write:repository`, even though they're read-only — inferred by
|
|
analogy with the scope-gating principle confirmed for branch operations in `branches.md`'s Token
|
|
scope section (Gitea gates reads behind write scope for repo-scoped operations), not a claim any
|
|
doc in this skill makes for commits by name: nothing here enumerates commits under
|
|
`write:repository` explicitly. An earlier version of this doc claimed `write:issue` alone worked, based on
|
|
empirical testing under a token that held both `write:issue` and `write:repository`
|
|
simultaneously — that test didn't isolate the variable either. Treat this as unverified until
|
|
tested under a token scoped to `write:issue` only (no `write:repository`).
