What the routine does

List open pull requests in the connected repository that have had no activity for the configured number of days. For each, determine what it is waiting on — review, changes, CI, or a decision — name the person or check blocking it, and propose one concrete next action. Do not merge, close, or comment unless the tool for that action is explicitly approved.

Inputs

  • Repository{{repository}}

    The repository whose pull requests to review.

    Example: acme/web-app

  • Stale after (days){{staleDays}}

    Days without activity before a pull request counts as stale.

    Example: 5

Required MCP capabilities

  • Read repository pull requests
  • Read CI status

Permission boundary

Connections do not grant blanket access. Discover the MCP tools, enable only the capabilities this responsibility needs, and give write-like actions a separate automatic-execution confirmation.
