Guarded GitHub Pull Request Merge

Merge one reviewed GitHub pull request after confirming its identity and merge prerequisites.

Required Aident Actions

• <action-tag>composio:github_tools:github_get_a_pull_request</action-tag> (required inputs: repo, owner, pull_number): Retrieves a specific pull request from a GitHub repository using its owner, repository name, and pull request number.
• <action-tag>composio:github_tools:github_get_pull_request_review_protection</action-tag> (required inputs: repo, owner, branch): Retrieves the pull request review protection settings for a specific branch in a GitHub repository, if such protection is configured.

Workflow

1. Confirm the requested outcome, source material, desAction · Merge A Pull Requestrce-derived guidance below to create a concrete plan. Resolve ambiguity before invoking an Action.
2. Select only the Aident Actions whose documented effect directly advances the requested outcome. Do not invoke every listed Action by default.
3. Inspect the current schema and prepare the minimum valid input for each selected Action.
4. Preflight each selected Action. Execute it only after any required confirmation, in dependency order, and carry returned IDs or asset URLs into later steps.
5. Verify the returned IDs, URLs, statuses, or artifacts against the acceptance criteria. Report partial completion precisely and do not repeat paid or mutating calls blindly.

Source-Derived Guidance

• Use composio:github_tools:github_get_a_pull_request to confirm repository, pull request number, open state, draft state, base branch, and head SHA.
• Use composio:github_tools:github_get_pull_request_review_protection and composio:github_tools:github_list_status_check_contexts on the base branch to resolve the required approval count and status contexts.
• Fully paginate composio:github_tools:github_list_reviews_for_a_pull_request, composio:github_tools:github_list_check_runs_for_a_ref, and composio:github_tools:github_get_commit_statuses with the captured head SHA to verify approvals, Checks API runs, and legacy commit-status contexts.
• Stop if the pull request is draft, stale, closed, has failing or pending checks, or is missing required approvals.
• Present the exact repository, pull request, head SHA, and merge strategy for confirmation before using composio:github_tools:github_merge_a_pull_request once with the captured head SHA as sha.

Execution Boundaries

• Treat upstream provider-specific commands as background knowledge only. Execute the workflow through the exact Aident Actions above.
• Never request raw credentials in chat. Use Aident Vault connection flows for required accounts.
• Preserve user-provided wording, brand constraints, rights restrictions, and target identifiers. Do not invent authorization.
• Read current state before a mutation, state the exact target, and include a rollback or recovery step in the result.
• Stop when a required integration is disconnected, preflight rejects the input, the target is ambiguous, or the user declines a required confirmation.

Output

Return the execution plan, selected Action names, confirmed targets, Aident result identifiers or asset URLs, verification evidence, and any remaining blocked step.
