GET/repositories/{repo_id}/anchors

List a repository's code anchors, optionally for one file and one ref

list_repo_anchors
  • issue:read
    A token needs the issue:read scope: Read work items and their settingsGranted by mcp_agent, mcp_agent_write, read_api, read_repository, write_api, write_repository.Every operation this scope unlocks
  • Filtered across resources

    x-gitmoap-isolation: {"kind":"cross_resource_filtered"}

Returns the repository's anchors, each with its work item's number, type, title and status, for showing them beside the code. path narrows to one file, and ref shows where the anchors fall on another branch, tag or commit instead of the default branch. Anchors whose work items you cannot see are left out. Anyone who can see the repository's work items may call it — on a public repository, without signing in.

Parameters

  • refstringoptionalShow where the anchors fall on this branch, tag or commit instead of the default branch. Nothing is saved

Responses

200The anchors, each carrying enough of its work item to render a gutter markerapplication/json
  • issueAnchorIssueSummary or nulloptionalThe work item's number, type, title and status. Absent briefly after the work item is deleted, until its anchors are removed.
    • The AnchorIssueSummary schema
    • iidIssueId (integer · int64)
    • scope_idstringThe id of the group or repository the work item lives in.
    • scope_typeScopeTypegrouprepositoryWhether the work item lives in a group or a repository. With scope_id and iid it is the item's current address — which need not be the repository the anchor is in: an item that moves keeps its anchors where the code is.
    • status_categoryStatusCategorytriagetodoin_progressin_reviewblockeddonecancelledThe fixed category behind a status. A status also has a name, which the team owns and may rename freely; the category is the part the platform reasons about. A team can call a status "Ready for QA" and the platform still knows it is in_review — so a board can place it in a column, a merge can move it, and a progress rollup can count it as not done.
    • status_idStatusId (string)
    • titleIssueTitle (string)
    • uidIssueUid (string · uuid)
    • work_item_typeWorkItemTypeepicstorybugtaskspikechoreincidentsub_taskThe kind of work item. The type decides where an item may live (a group or a repository), which types it may have as children, and which fields it accepts.

400Bad request — a path parameter is not a well-formed value of its typeapplication/json
Error codes
  • BAD_REQUESTThe request is malformed: a parameter or a body field is not a well-formed value of its type
  • errorErrorBody
    • The ErrorBody schema
    • codestringThe coarse category, tied to the status: NOT_FOUND, CONFLICT, INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. Every error has one; the API reference's error catalogue lists them all.
    • messagestringWhat went wrong, for a person. Written to be read, not parsed: match on reason or code.
    • fieldstring or nulloptionalOn a 400 that refused one field's value, the field, as its JSON path: email, items[0].name. Put the message under that input. Absent on every other error.
    • reasonstring or nulloptionalThe specific code, when the error has one: LAST_ORGANIZATION_OWNER, BRANCH_PROTECTED. The message starts with it too. Match on this when it is present, and on code otherwise.
    • required_scopestring or nulloptionalThe scope the access token was missing, on INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE.
    • violationsanyoptionalPresent on the structured-validation errors (PROVIDER_VALIDATION_FAILED per-node, PIPELINE_VALIDATION_FAILED DAG): a JSON array of the offending elements, so a caller can fix every one in a single round-trip. Absent (omitted) on every other error.

Error codes
  • FORBIDDENYou are signed in but may not do this here; reason names the permission or the rule that refused it
