Summary

Adds a get_commits method to pull_request_read so agents can list commits on a pull request. The response uses a compact PR-specific commit summary to keep the payload focused on commit-message review workflows.

Why

Fixes #2368

Review agents need access to the commits on a pull request so they can validate commit messages, for example checking whether commits follow Conventional Commits or another repository-specific format.

What changed

• Added pull_request_read method get_commits.
• Calls client.PullRequests.ListCommits() with existing page / perPage pagination support.
• Added MinimalPullRequestCommit for a compact commit-list response.
• Added unit coverage for success, pagination, error handling, and omitted noisy fields.
• Updated pull_request_read toolsnap and generated README docs.

Response shape tradeoff

This PR uses a new lightweight MinimalPullRequestCommit instead of reusing the existing MinimalCommit type used by repository commit tools. MinimalCommit is a better fit for detailed commit views like get_commit, where nested git metadata, resolved GitHub users, stats, and files are useful.

For PR commit listing, the primary use case is commit-message inspection across multiple commits, so the new type avoids repeated author / committer blocks and resolved profile data that can quickly consume context without helping that workflow. If future use cases need richer commit details, callers can still fetch an individual commit through the existing repository commit tools.

Example tool/method response

MCP impact

• No tool or API changes
• Tool schema or behavior changed
  • pull_request_read now accepts method: "get_commits" and returns a compact list of PR commits.
  • Toolsnaps were updated for the changed schema.
• New tool added

Prompts tested (tool changes only)

• "List the commits on pull request #XXX in github/github-mcp-server."
• "Show me the commit messages for PR #XXX so I can review them."

Security / limits

• No security or limits impact
• Auth / permissions considered
  • Uses the existing repo scope required by pull_request_read.
• Data exposure, filtering, or token/size limits considered
  • The response intentionally uses a compact commit summary and supports pagination.

Tool renaming

• I am renaming tools as part of this PR (e.g. a part of a consolidation effort)
  • I have added the new tool aliases in deprecated_tool_aliases.go
• I am not renaming tools as part of this PR
