GitHub MCP Server 1.6.0

Highlights ⭐️

• Tool response filtering: We added a new fields parameter to selected tools in Insiders mode, allowing models to specify which fields they need when they call those tools, thus shrinking tool response size and optimizing context usage. Try it out and let us know if you have any feedback!
