It returns error - 'Limitation: the MCP actions_run_trigger tool does not expose an 'inputs' parameter; the dispatch succeeded (204 queued) but inputs were not transmitted and may default within the workflow.' \n\nIs there a way to ensure it identifies and passes the inputs?\n\n### Affected version\n\nRemote version\n\n### Steps to reproduce the behavior\n\nIncluded below text in prompt to agent/model with remote github MCP server - _payload schema: { method: 'run_workflow', owner: 'REDACTED', repo: 'REDACTED', workflow_id: 'REDACTED.yaml', ref: 'REDACTED', inputs: { FIELD1: REDACTED, FIELD2: REDACTED, FIELD3: REDACTED, FIELD4: REDACTED } }_\n\n### Expected vs actual behavior\n\nInput fields should be recognized and passed when invoking the workflow. All other fields are recognized.\n\nAppreciate any assistance.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/klakshmikantha","@type":"Person","name":"klakshmikantha"},"datePublished":"2026-01-23T17:09:13.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1877/github-mcp-server/issues/1877"}
