GitHub Issues: listing versus creating an issue
Distinguish documented read/write methods and required permissions. Use official examples; do not create an issue as a test.
Inspect primary sourceWhich write operations are actually documented?
For a public API you are authorized to study, compare its documented methods with a harmless observation or official example. Report the client/version, documented capability, and any unresolved difference. Do not probe private services or bypass restrictions.
Use read-only evidence or an explicitly authorized sandbox.
Bring this evidence
- official API document
- exact client/version if observed
