Read a project board with get_project_items

Goal: list every item on a Projects v2 board along with its field values, to find an item’s node ID or inspect board state.

Prerequisites

• You know the project’s owner login, number, and owner type.
• No project scope check is performed by this tool itself (it’s a read); a token without at least read access to the project will fail at the API call.
• This tool fetches at most the board’s first 100 items in a single, unpaginated GraphQL query. A board with more than 100 items silently returns only the first 100 — there is no cursor or hasNextPage signal to detect the truncation.

Steps

1. Call get_project_items:

   { "projectOwnerLogin": "your-org", "projectNumber": 1 }

2. Read the response:

   {
     "items": [
       {
         "id": "PVTI_...",
         "title": "Fix flaky upload retry",
         "number": 101,
         "repo": "your-org/your-repo",
         "fieldValues": [{ "fieldName": "Status", "optionName": "In Progress" }]
       }
     ]
   }

Verify it worked

• Cross-check a few items’ title/number against what you see on the board in the browser.
• If the board holds items from more than one repository, always match items by both number and repo, not number alone — two repos on the same board can share an issue number, and number alone is not a safe join key.
• A DraftIssue item has number: null and repo: null — it has neither.
