Read a community health file's content

Fetch the actual content of one org-wide default community health file.

Before you call this

Section titled “Before you call this”

You need the file’s path within the org’s .github repo. Get it from list-org-health-files.md first.

Call

Section titled “Call”
get_org_health_file { "org": "<org>", "path": "CONTRIBUTING.md" }

Result

Section titled “Result”
{
  "path": "CONTRIBUTING.md",
  "content": "# Contributing\n\n..."
}

content is already decoded to a plain UTF-8 string — GitHub’s contents API returns base64, and this tool does that decoding for you before returning.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”

Reads only the org’s public .github repo, never .github-private. Requesting a directory path instead of a file returns something that doesn’t match this tool’s expected shape — use list-org-health-files.md for directories.
