An audit against plugins/gitea/docs/research/docs/gitea/*.md found the gitea-releases skill told callers to set create_release's draft flag as `draft` instead of `is_draft` (the actual input param; `draft` is only the response field name) - a call following that gotcha would have the flag silently ignored, publishing a non-draft release. Also corrected an overclaimed "verified against live MCP schema" provenance note in call-signatures.md/README.md (its sources are gitea-mcp source-code extraction, not a live tool call - now noted alongside a narrow live ToolSearch cross-check performed this session for 3 of the 9 tools' input params), and softened three behavioral claims (create_release auto-creating tags, get_latest_release excluding drafts/prereleases, delete_tag preserving a wrapping release) that don't trace to any research doc, with a recommendation to verify release/tag state after delete operations rather than assume it.

# Release and tag call signatures
|
|
|
|
Signatures and response shapes are derived from gitea-mcp source (`operation/*.go` and `slim.go`,
|
|
see `references/sources.md`) rather than copied from upstream API docs, which can drift from the
|
|
deployed gitea-mcp version — but this is a source-code extraction, not a live MCP tool call.
|
|
|
|
Input parameter schemas for 3 of the 9 tools here — `create_release`, `delete_tag`, and
|
|
`get_latest_release` — were additionally cross-checked live via `ToolSearch` against the deployed
|
|
`mcp__gitea__*` tools in session 2026-07-05, and confirmed to match exactly (required/optional
|
|
params and names). That check covered only input params for those 3 tools, not response shapes,
|
|
and not the other 6 tools — treat the rest of this document as source-derived, not live-verified.
|
|
|
|
`owner` and `repo` are required strings on every tool below and are omitted from the per-tool lists
|
|
for brevity.
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
**`list_releases`**
|
|
- Optional: `is_draft` (boolean), `is_pre_release` (boolean), `page` (number, default 1), `per_page` (number, default 20)
|
|
- Returns an array of release objects (shape below), one page at a time.
|
|
|
|
**`get_release`**
|
|
- Required: `id` (number) — the release's numeric id, not its tag name.
|
|
- Returns a single release object.
|
|
|
|
**`get_latest_release`**
|
|
- No parameters beyond `owner`/`repo`.
|
|
- Returns a single release object for the most recently published release. It is assumed (by analogy with typical "latest release" semantics) that this excludes drafts and prereleases, but that exclusion is not directly confirmed by any of the research docs — verify with `list_releases` if the caller depends on this.
|
|
|
|
**`create_release`**
|
|
- Required: `tag_name` (string), `target` (string — branch, tag, or commit SHA to cut the tag from), `title` (string)
|
|
- Optional: `body` (string — release notes), `is_draft` (boolean), `is_pre_release` (boolean)
|
|
- Assumed (not confirmed by the research docs) that if `tag_name` doesn't already exist as a tag, Gitea creates it against `target` as part of this call. Verify with `get_tag`/`list_tags` afterward if the caller needs certainty.
|
|
|
|
**`delete_release`**
|
|
- Required: `id` (number) — same numeric id as `get_release`. Does not accept `tag_name`.
|
|
- Does not delete the underlying tag.
|
|
|
|
**Release object shape** (returned by list/get/create/latest):
|
|
```
|
|
id, tag_name, target, title, body, draft, prerelease, html_url, author, created_at, published_at
|
|
```
|
|
`author` is the creator's login. `body` holds the release notes.
|
|
|
|
## Tags
|
|
|
|
**`list_tags`**
|
|
- Optional: `page` (number, default 1), `per_page` (number, default 20)
|
|
- Returns an array of `{ name, commit_sha }` — no `message` field on list responses.
|
|
|
|
**`get_tag`**
|
|
- Required: `tag_name` (string)
|
|
- Returns `{ name, message, commit_sha }` — the only tag call that returns `message`.
|
|
|
|
**`create_tag`**
|
|
- Required: `tag_name` (string)
|
|
- Optional: `target` (string — commitish to tag; if omitted, Gitea tags the default branch tip), `message` (string — annotated tag message)
|
|
|
|
**`delete_tag`**
|
|
- Required: `tag_name` (string). Does not accept a numeric id.
|
|
- Assumed by symmetry with `delete_release` (documented above as not deleting the underlying tag) to also not delete any release wrapping the tag — but this reverse direction is not independently confirmed by the research docs, and is the more dangerous direction to get wrong: an agent might skip an explicit `delete_release` call assuming the release survives. Verify with `list_releases`/`get_release` after calling `delete_tag` rather than assume.

|
## Pagination
|
|
|
|
None of the list tools auto-paginate. To collect a full result set, call with `page: 1`, then
|
|
`page: 2`, etc., stopping when a page returns fewer items than `per_page`. `list_releases` and
|
|
`list_tags` default `per_page` to 20 — lower than the 30-default used by most other gitea-mcp list
|
|
tools, so a caller assuming 30 will under-count pages needed for a fixed total.
