  "how": {
    "incantation": "When reviewing or triaging a repository that may have more than 100 labels, call `list_label` with `perPage` and keep fetching pages using each response’s cursor until no further page is indicated. This lets you check all returned labels before deciding whether one exists.",
    "examples": [
      "list_label({\"owner\":\"<owner>\",\"repo\":\"<repo>\",\"perPage\":100})",
      "list_label({\"owner\":\"<owner>\",\"repo\":\"<repo>\",\"perPage\":100,\"after\":\"<nextCursor from previous response pageInfo>\"})"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v2.0.3",
      "owner (required): Repository owner username or organization name.",
      "repo (required): Repository name.",
      "perPage: Results per page; 1–100. Defaults to 100 for this tool.",
      "after: Pagination cursor; use the cursor from the previous response.",
      "Prerequisite: The `list_label` tool requires OAuth scope `repo`.",
      "`perPage` accepts values from 1 to 100.",
      "Repositories with up to 100 labels still receive all labels in one call by default."
    ]
  },
  "why_it_matters": "When reviewing or triaging a repository with more than 100 labels, retrieve all labels before deciding whether a label exists.",
  "before": "The tool made one `labels(first: 100)` query and returned `labels` and `totalCount`; labels beyond the first 100 were not returned.",
