`get_releases`

Pack: github · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp

Get the latest release and recent release history for a repository — the canonical way to answer “what is the latest version of ”, “when was last released”, “what changed in the newest release”. Returns the latest published stable release (tag, name, date, prerelease flag, release notes, downloadable assets with download counts) plus recent releases. Falls back to git tags for repos that tag but do not cut formal releases.

Parameters

`owner`	string	yes	Repo owner or org (e.g. “cli”).
`repo`	string	yes	Repo name (e.g. “cli”).
`per_page`	number	no	Number of recent releases to list (default 5, max 30).
