list_sessions_by_repository

Returns all sessions associated with a specific git repository. Useful when you know the repo name and want to see everything Copilot CLI has worked on in that project.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
repo	string	Yes	Repository in owner/repo format, e.g. ncosentino/needlr

Response

Returns a JSON array of session summary objects (same structure as list_recent_sessions), ordered by updatedAt descending:

[
  {
    "id": "0c531e17-1fed-4bb0-a00e-e3e4a08ca6c4",
    "cwd": "C:\\dev\\nexus-labs\\needlr",
    "repository": "nexus-labs/needlr",
    "branch": "main",
    "summary": "Explore Microsoft Agent Framework Integration",
    "createdAt": "2026-02-15T10:30:00Z",
    "updatedAt": "2026-02-28T18:45:00Z",
    "turnCount": 87,
    "checkpointCount": 66
  }
]

Example Prompts

• "List all sessions for the ncosentino/needlr repository"
• "What sessions have I worked on in the macerus repo? Use ncosentino/macerus."
• "Find all sessions for nexus-labs/narnia"
• "Which sessions were working on my devleader-blog? Try ncosentino/devleader-blog."

Notes

The repo value must match the repository field stored in the session record exactly, in owner/repo format. If a session was created without a git repository context, it will not appear in this tool's results — use list_sessions_by_cwd as a fallback.
