WHAT IT DOES

What request_copilot_review does on GitHub

AI agents use request_copilot_review to create or update resources in GitHub, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your GitHub environment.

RISK

Why request_copilot_review is rated Medium

This tool requests a code review from Copilot on a pull request. It creates/modifies review state on a PR, which is a reversible write action. It does not delete data or execute code, but it does trigger an external operation (a review request). Since the primary effect is creating a review request (a write/notification), Write is the most appropriate category.
