- Adds issue dependency read operations so agents can inspect blockers and downstream blocked work through the issue read tool - Adds issue dependency write support so agents can create and remove native blocked-by relationships without relying on issue comments - Registers the dependency tool and updates tests and tool snapshots so the GitHub workflow exposes blocker management consistently
- Adds explicit issue and project item identifiers so workflow agents can connect issues, project items, sub-issues, and dependencies without parsing ambiguous response IDs - Adds safe issue label mutation so readiness labels can be added and removed without replacing unrelated labels - Adds project item updates by issue or pull request identity with batched field updates so Status and Priority changes no longer require brittle project item lookup steps - Adds project issue creation that creates the issue, adds it to the project, and applies initial Status and Priority for the common backlog workflow - Updates tool metadata and tests to document the safer GitHub workflow surface and preserve existing compatible paths

Why
This adds higher-level GitHub workflow primitives for MCP clients that manage issue triage and Project V2 boards. The main use case is agent/backlog automation that needs to create an issue, add it to a project, set initial Status/Priority fields, adjust labels without replacing unrelated labels, and model issue dependency relationships without composing several lower-level REST/GraphQL calls client-side.
What Changed
issue_readfor issues blocked by another issue and issues blocking the current issue.issue_dependency_writefor adding and removingblocked_bydependency relationships.issue_label_writeso clients can add or remove selected issue labels while preserving unrelated labels.create_project_issueto create an issue, add it to a Project V2 board, and set initial Status/Priority fields in one workflow-oriented operation.Notes for Reviewers
