triage-issues

triage-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from googleapis/mcp-toolbox. It costs 164 tokens per session (1,811 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A proposal-based review of GitHub issues in the MCP Toolbox repository. It checks labels, possible duplicates, whether a bug report has enough information, and whether a triage comment would help.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when categorizing, prioritizing, labeling, checking, or preparing an issue for development. It can suggest labels across type, priority, product, and status, identify likely duplicates, and draft a comment.
Why use it?
It makes incoming issues easier to route and prioritize without changing them automatically. It checks the repository's current label list and rules so suggestions match the project.

About the project

MCP Toolbox for Databases is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that connects AI agents, development environments, and applications to enterprise databases through ready-made or custom tools. It is for exploring schemas, querying data, generating code, and building specialized database tools for production agents. The catalogue includes its skills, instructions, and MCP server integration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

triage-issues scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Triage Issues (mcp-toolbox)

Triage here is mostly manual labeling. The product: label auto-routes to the owning team via .github/blunderbuss.yml. Propose only, never mutating the issue; when a call isn't obvious, ask rather than guess.

Goal

Given an issue number (or several), deliver a triage the maintainer can apply in seconds: labels across the four axes (each with a one-line why), likely duplicates, missing bug info, and a draft comment when one adds value.

Prerequisites

  • gh authenticated for googleapis/mcp-toolbox, plus the issue number(s). A GitHub MCP server substitutes for gh if it isn't available: the gh commands below map to its read/list tools.

Guidance

Read source-of-truth live, not from memory (labels/routing drift):

  • gh label list --repo googleapis/mcp-toolbox --limit 200: the only valid label names. Never propose one not listed.
  • .github/blunderbuss.yml: which product: labels route to which team.
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml: required bug fields (for the completeness check).
  • references/maintainer-playbook.md: the authoritative taxonomy, priority/status definitions, SLO targets, and comment templates. Read it to classify; this skill only adds how to apply them in a propose-only workflow.

Fetch the issue:

gh issue view <n> --repo googleapis/mcp-toolbox --json number,title,body,author,labels,comments,createdAt

Check bot-noise first. Automated reports (e.g. "Cloud Build Failure Reporter ... failed", bot author) just need periodic-failure, so skip the rest of the workflow.

The four axes (the playbook has the definitions; below is only how to apply them here). Skip an axis when it doesn't apply: say so, don't force a label.

  • type:: the template pre-applies type: bug/type: question; trust it, but correct it when the body disagrees (a "bug" asking for new behavior is a feature request) and say why.
  • product:: one per data source; highest-leverage label, since it drives team routing. Infer from the source/tool named (e.g. "looker run_dashboard tool" → product: looker). Don't force one on core/product-agnostic issues; note it has no product owner. If a real data source has no matching label yet, say so and flag it for .github/labels.yaml rather than mis-routing.
  • priority:: bugs are only ever p0 or p1 (never p2/p3); feature requests span p0-p3. Match the issue to the playbook's priority examples and SLO table, state the reason, and let the maintainer override.
  • status: (optional): waiting for response when a bug lacks info to act, feedback wanted when waiting on community/author, help wanted for community-open work. See the playbook for exact semantics and the >60-day-silence close rule.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
