get_build_failure_logs

This tool helps debug CircleCI build failures by retrieving failure logs. CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. Truncation Handling (HIGHEST PRIORITY): - ALWAYS check for <MCPTruncationWarning> in the output - When present, you MUST start your response with: "WARNING: The logs have been truncated. Only showing the most recent entries. Earlier build failures may not be visible." - Only proceed with log analysis after acknowledging the truncation Input options (EXACTLY ONE of these THREE options must be used): Option 1 - Project Slug and branch (BOTH required): - projectSlug: The project slug obtained from listFollowedProjects tool (e.g., "gh/organization/project") - branch: The name of the branch (required when using projectSlug) Option 2 - Direct URL (provide ONE of these): - projectURL: The URL of the CircleCI project in any of these formats: * Project URL: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/organization/project * Pipeline URL: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/organization/project/123 * Legacy Job URL: https://circleci.com/pipelines/gh/organization/project/123 * Workflow URL: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/organization/project/123/workflows/abc-def * Job URL: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/organization/project/123/workflows/abc-def/jobs/xyz Option 3 - Project Detection (ALL of these must be provided together): - workspaceRoot: The absolute path to the workspace root - gitRemoteURL: The URL of the git remote repository - branch: The name of the current branch Recommended Workflow: 1. Use listFollowedProjects tool to get a list of projects 2. Extract the projectSlug from the chosen project (format: "gh/organization/project") 3. Use that projectSlug with a branch name for this tool Additional Requirements: - Never call this tool with incomplete parameters - If using Option 1, make sure to extract the projectSlug exactly as provided by listFollowedProjects - If using Option 2, the URLs MUST be provided by the user - do not attempt to construct or guess URLs - If using Option 3, ALL THREE parameters (workspaceRoot, gitRemoteURL, branch) must be provided - If none of the options can be fully satisfied, ask the user for the missing information before making the tool call
