Pull request overview
Updates the GitHub Copilot agent definitions under .github/agents/ to align tool permissions and ordering with the upstream TemplateDotNetLibrary pattern.
Changes:
- Standardize
tools:ordering across agent frontmatter to[read, search, edit, execute, github, (web), agent]. - Add missing tool capabilities (
github,web,agent, and/orexecute) to specific agents to match their intended responsibilities.
