+# Backlog Triage Allowed Tools Expansion
+
+## File
+`~/.config/claude-scheduled/tasks/backlog-triage/settings.json`
+
+## Added Tools
+- `Read(~/.config/claude-scheduled/repos.json)` — read shared repo config
+- `mcp__gitea-mcp__get_pull_request_by_index` — inspect PRs referenced in output
+- `mcp__gitea-mcp__get_issue_comments_by_index` — better staleness assessment
+
+## Previous State
+Previously only had general MCP tools with no Read file access.
+
+## Rationale
+The agent needs to read the shared repos.json to know which repos to triage, and needs PR/issue comment access to make informed staleness decisions.
