Pull request overview
Updates the workflow-authoring documentation to standardize how new agentic workflows configure tool access, explicitly steering authors toward tools.github.mode: gh-proxy + gh for GitHub reads and tools.cli-proxy: true + mounted mcp-clis for non-GitHub MCP tooling.
Changes:
- Updated security posture and core rules docs to distinguish GitHub reads (
gh-proxy+gh) from non-GitHub MCP usage (cli-proxy+mcp-clis). - Updated the workflow-creation guidance with an explicit combined tools configuration example and added
mcp-clis.mdto the required reference set. - Added guidance about when
cli-proxycan be omitted (GitHub-only reads), though one example currently conflicts with this (see stored comment).
