Description
The get_me GitHub MCP tool has returned 403 errors for 12+ consecutive days (flagged in DeepReport memory since Apr 3, confirmed again in [mcp-analysis] #26420 today). The MCP Structural Analysis rates get_me at 1/5 usefulness (lowest of all tools) due to constant auth failure. Open issue #26069 also reports systemic MCP registry 401 failures blocking safe outputs across multiple workflows. Fixing this is prerequisite to stable MCP authentication across the ecosystem.
Expected Impact
Restoring get_me authentication will unblock any workflow that uses actor identity resolution or permission checking via MCP. It will improve the MCP average usefulness score (currently 3.11/5) and reduce auth-failure noise in workflow logs. Combined with the MCP rate-limit circuit breaker (#26239), this would significantly stabilize the MCP layer.
Suggested Agent
Agentic Maintenance — investigate the GitHub MCP server token scopes in the repository secrets, check if a PAT rotation or permission scope change caused the 403s, and restore correct authentication configuration.
Estimated Effort
Quick (< 1 hour investigation, potentially medium if token rotation required)
