GitHub Tools Begins Supporting Vercel Connect

GitHub Tools has started first-class support for Vercel Connect via the @github-tools/sdk/connect subpath.

Instead of the existing method of storing long-lived Personal Access Tokens (PATs), agents now generate short-lived, scoped tokens from the connector at runtime. This fundamentally eliminates the risk of storing, rotating, or leaking security keys.

Key features include:

• Preset-based permission management: Presets such as code-review, issue-triage, and maintainer automatically assign tokens with only the necessary permissions.
• Multi-tenant support: You can override installationId or repositories at call time to precisely control access to specific installations or individual repositories.
• Optimized for the Vercel environment: Automatically authenticates via OIDC tokens when deployed on Vercel, and can be easily configured for local development using vercel link.
