Descripción
### Describe the bug
`pull_request_read` with `method: get` does not return the pull request's `merge_commit_sha`, so there is no way to get from a merged pull request to the commit the merge produced without a second call.
In the source, `GetPullRequest` fetches the full pull request and then returns `convertToMinimalPullRequest(pr)`. `MinimalPullRequest` carries `merged`, `merged_at`, `merged_by`, `head` and `base`, but has no `merge_commit_sha` field, so the value is dropped during conversion. `merge_commit` does not appear anywhere in `pkg/github/pullrequests.go`.
### Affected version
Unknown. Observed through a hosted GitHub MCP integration on 2026-09-06, where the server version is not exposed to me. The code references above are from the repository's default branch on that date and may not match the build that was serving the request.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Call `pull_request_read` with `method: get` for a merged pull request.
2. Inspect the returned object.
### Expected vs actual behavior
Expected: `merge_commit_sha` is present for a merged pull request, as the REST API returns it.
Actual: the field is absent. Callers fall back to listing commits and matching on merge time or on the pull request number in the commit message, both of which are unreliable on an active branch.
### Logs
None captured beyond the returned object.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Start in pkg/github/pullrequests.go, reading GetPullRequest, convertToMinimalPullRequest, and MinimalPullRequest. Add support for retaining the merge commit SHA, then verify that pull_request_read with method get exposes merge_commit_sha for merged pull requests.
