Descrição
## Problem
For cost tracking and post-run analysis of agentic workflows, the missing piece is read access to workflow run artifacts. Specifically, downloading the `agent-artifacts` artifact from a completed `gh aw` run to parse `token-usage.jsonl` for per-run token cost data.
The current workaround requires chaining several REST API calls:
1. `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/artifacts` to list artifacts
2. `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/artifacts/{artifact_id}/zip` to download
3. Unzip and parse the relevant file
This is a lot of plumbing for what should be a natural thing for an AI agent to do: "look at what the last run produced."
## Proposed tool
`download_workflow_run_artifact(owner, repo, run_id, artifact_name)` that returns the artifact contents (or a structured representation for known formats like JSONL).
## Why this matters
The `token-usage.jsonl` format written by gh-aw's firewall proxy (since v0.25.8) contains per-model token counts for every agentic workflow run. A single MCP tool call to retrieve it would unlock a natural class of "analyze what the last agent run did" workflows. Right now that analysis requires dropping out of MCP and into raw REST.
More broadly, artifacts are a primary output mechanism for GitHub Actions. Being able to read them via MCP would make a wide range of post-run analysis workflows significantly simpler.
