…CP tool names The agentic triage workflow prompt referenced `get_issue` and `get_issue_comments` tools, but the actual GitHub MCP tools use `issue_read` with method parameters (`get` and `get_comments`). This mismatch caused the agent to fail to produce safe outputs (no labels, comments, or noop) when triaging issue #10496.

…ures (#10504) Agentic Triage workflow ([run 24996553319](https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/actions/runs/24996553319)) produced no safe outputs despite the agent running for ~4 minutes. This is the second failure after PR #10502 fixed tool name references — the agent still silently failed to call any safe output tool. Analysis of the generated prompt and MCP gateway logs revealed three issues: - **Missing `get_file_contents` tool reference**: The prompt said "read the file `eng/common/config/labels.ts`" without specifying the MCP tool name or parameters. Now explicitly references `get_file_contents` with `owner`/`repo`. - **Unconditional `web-fetch` reference**: The prompt unconditionally instructed the agent to "Use `web-fetch` to verify the playground link", but only `safeoutputs` and `github` MCP servers were registered — `web-fetch` was not available. Changed to conditional: "If the `web_fetch` tool is available, use it to verify..." - **No fallback instruction**: Added an explicit `## Important` section reinforcing the requirement to call at least one safe output tool (`add_comment`, `add_labels`, or `noop`) before finishing, with guidance to call `noop` on errors. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: timotheeguerin <1031227+timotheeguerin@users.noreply.github.com>

The Agentic Triage workflow (run 24915251147) produced no safe outputs because the prompt referenced non-existent tool names.
The prompt instructed the agent to use
get_issueandget_issue_comments, but the actual MCP GitHub tools are:get_issueissue_read(method:get)get_issue_commentsissue_read(method:get_comments).github/workflows/issue-triage.mdto referenceissue_readwith the correct method parameters
